IMITATION OF CATULLUS

O, DAMN her!
That . . . exquisite monster! . . . was my flaming cage in Hell!
And yet I loved and lauded her . . . !
Praised her . . . yellowy finger-ends beyond my stupid life!
Though, you bitch! for your faithlessness
I could as well have written you --

Ohh, do write her . . . do write all love in future --
if there are any of you still,
you honest poets . . .

on paper of
green sea

water . . .
