WINTER SMOKE IS BLUE AND BITTER
(from Androgyne, Mon Amour)
Winter smoke is blue and bitter:
women comfort you in winter.
Scent of thyme is cool and tender:
girls are music to remember.
Men are made of rock and thunder:
threat of storm to labour under.
Cypress woods are demon-dark:
boys are fox-teeth in your heart.
– Tennessee Williams, Paul Morrissey and Andy Warhol, 1967
