Rrose Sélavy Has Veins of Brilliant Metal

I’ve turned as surreal as an umbrella.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrose

We’ve come a long way from Emily Dickinson to wearing a milliner’s interpretation of a bird deathbed.  Come kiss me, Vanessa’s changelings. I issue myself as scent from the painstaking enfleurage of all my history.  Grenouille would have kept my hair in fat, if I were still a virgin.

Veins of Brilliant Metal

A woman can be an assemblage that looks as light as lumps of sugar and feels as heavy as marble. The difference can only be noted  if you intend to serve tea at 5 o’clock.Perfume

Sssssssélavy

Eros-Rose, c’est la vie. Would I be a statue or a cello in a rayograph?

  1. one of those hairs a meter long dropped from a meter.
    Blue canvas.
    Decoupage.
    The curling shaped.
    Cutting the 3 stoppages away from our simpleton artistic judgements.
    What flows through those veins, those threads, those hairs from on high.
