The snake of joy


Send me the
snake of joy and
pleasure, its
sides, taut, sheer
caught sight of
within, in the
patch of vision,
coiling.

Stirred inside
the velleity,
in the coenaesthetic
in the sensorium,
the mind flects out
turns, aspects out
solicits,
the image
comes, spontaneous
dream-reflection,
of the flexion,
with the flexion
with the aspecting
out
in the pentness of
the dream-mind
is born
the image
dream-reflection
of the flexion
which the dream-
mind sees,
and then is
named, the
movement-image,
'the snake of joy'

appeals. . .
to what sender?
what outside?
that the stirring
of desire
that is the
adumbration of
fulfilment
that solicits
fulfilment
in the turning
out
in the birth
within
of the image of
desire
which is the
adumbration
of fulfilment
may be fulfilled

with the coming
from without
towards which one
looks
with the coming
from without
to suffuse the
within
with the transformative
coming
of the snake
of joy.
