Sonnet In Search Of An Author
May 19, 2019
Nude bodies like peeled logs
sometimes give off a sweetest
odour, man and woman
under the trees in full excess
matching the cushion of
aromatic pine-drift fallen
threaded with trailing woodbine
a sonnet might be made of it
Might be made of it! odour of excess
odour of pine needles, odour of
peeled logs, odour of no odour
other than trailing woodbine that
has no odour, odour of a nude woman
sometimes, odour of a man.
William Carlos Williams
