from A Pair of Uranian Garters for Aurora Bligh
Death's legs in black net stockings will
confuse our undercover revolutions. Death's darkened lips
like astral idiots bring chaos to our ouija board and fill
the house with doubtful relatives. She slips
the marriage sheets of comrades back, reveals
an ox. A lightning splits amoeba pride and cow-
faced fear springs up to love. Death's limbs concealed
in black suede boots have claimed the boy and now
the passionate zebra comes no more in dreams.
– Robert Duncan (1942)
