And a freshly picked carnation reveals
A rosebud smiles at you, emanating
To you, with a smile, the fragrance it wafts,
A fragrance as it blossoms with delight

Above stems—as though, from the ewers
Above a market that resembles vessels
Of heady wine, they were spouts for the vintage.
Of hot desire pouring out the wine

The cupbearers laid cheeks upon them,
The water-carriers have covered over it
Bleeding from them, in place of the wine-strainer.
Cheeks that take the place of sacrificial lambs
