    1 As one aflame laid bare by desire<\/B>\u000b\u000b

    she moved like a dancer, skin so pale, hair cut sharp across her cheek. \u000bdefined in an instant of desire, my heart laid bare. a train across a\u000bplatform, a reflection in a window . . . her passage breaks into successive\u000bframes. she vanishes, begging that i retain what we have shared. from her\u000bface, from her dress, from her gestures, from practically nothing at all. i\u000bhave devised her story. and sometimes i tell it to myself and weep. and\u000bsometimes i tell it to myself and weep.\u000b\u000b

    – last four lines paraphrased from: Charles Baudelaire, “Windows,” Paris Spleen.\u000b\u000b

    You pass by my window, yet i will never have you
    \u000bawakened by your vision, draw me to life
    \u000bi know nothing of you, taking on such proportions
    \u000bas you overwhelm me
    \u000bi will never have you, yet what has transpired
    \u000bin this union absent of flesh and blood?
    \u000bin endless delay, unachievable
    \u000bi await, i await, i await . . .
    \u000bawait my transition, lost within this vision
    \u000bawait the kingdom which i will never obtain
    \u000bawait hands upon my flesh, that i’ll never feel
    \u000bawait your love, that i will never know
    \u000bawait the day when you never return
    \u000bawait the day when you never return
    \u000bthe day i make my transition
    \u000bthe passage from virgin to a bride
    \u000b\u000b

    2 Dulcinea<\/B>\u000b\u000b

    DULCINEA emerges . . . the BACHELOR waits alone . . . through windows above me . . . DELAY DELAY . . . DULCINEA emerges.\u000b\u000b

    “The movement depicted in not merely physical: as the woman moves across\u000bthe picture plane she leaves her clothed state behind and emerges nude,\u000blike a butterfly from a cocoon. [Dulcinea depicts] a female form in the\u000bprocess of being stripped bare by a male imagination, a ‘bachelor.’ Here\u000bthe stripping is performed not by an anonymous unmarried man, but by\u000bDuchamp himself, his interest in the unclothed female form justified on\u000btraditional artistic grounds, but aroused by his male curiosity about a\u000byoung woman with whom he had no social connection: he later recalled that\u000bhe did not know her name . . . “\u000b\u000b

    – Jerrold Seigel, The Private Worlds of Marcel Duchamp (University of\u000bCalifornia Press 1995), 41.\u000b\u000b\u000b

    3 On broken shells of crystal dreams<\/B>\u000b\u000b

    cast out by angels, cast out by faith. like fallen stars. like martyrs we\u000bfall, blessed is the sufferer. with these eyes, these hands . . . we almost\u000bgrasped paradise. you lie alabaster translucent on broken shells of crystal\u000bdreams. defiled and destroyed. how can i pray to this cruel god who averts\u000bhis gaze? how can i believe in a god who creates puppets and sheep?\u000b\u000b

    4 Could i stay the honest one?<\/B>\u000b\u000b

    if your words lodged within me
    \u000bburning streamers . . . how could i stay
    \u000bthe honest one? harbouring these feelings
    \u000b. . . engulfing me\u000b\u000b

    burn my memories . . . your tears the ultimate
    \u000bbeauty . . . so deceived, by honesty\u000b\u000b

    similar needs, similar traits . . .
    \u000ba fear of being turned against, so hard to open . . .
    \u000bdesire . . . desire . . . lose this fear; reveal my heart to you\u000b\u000b

    remain in this house as the walls tumble down
    \u000bmy faith swirling round . . . my faith swirling round
    \u000bmaybe this all reveals . . .
    \u000bwithin each other, have we found our spirit?<\/p>\n
