Remember that object we saw dear soul	A
In the sweetness of a summer morn	B
At a bend of the path a loathsome carrion	C
On a bed with pebbles strewn	D
	-
With legs raised like a lustful woman	C
Burning and sweating poisons	E
It spread open nonchalant and scornful	F
Its belly ripe with exhalations	E
	-
The sun shone onto the rotting heap	G
As if to bring it to the boil	H
And tender a hundredfold to vast Nature	I
All that together she had joined	J
	-
And the sky watched that superb carcass	E
Like a flower blossom out	K
The stench was so strong that on the grass	E
You thought you would pass out	K
	-
Flies hummed upon the putrid belly	L
Whence larvae in black battalions spread	M
And like a heavy liquid flowed	N
Along the tatters deliquescing	O
	-
All together it unfurled and rose like a wave	P
And bubbling it sprang forth	Q
One might have believed that with a faint breath filled	R
The body multiplying lived	S
	-
And this world gave out a strange music	O
Like of running water and of wind	T
Or of grain in a winnow	U
Rhythmically shaken and tossed	V
	-
Form was erased and all but a vision	C
A sketch slow to take shape	W
On a forgotten canvas which the artist finishes	E
From memory alone	X
	-
Behind the rocks a fretting bitch	Y
Looked at us with fierce mien	Z
Anxious to retrieve from the corpse	E
A morsel that she had dropped	A2
	-
Yet to this rot you shall be like	O
To this horrid corruption	C
Star of my eyes sun of desire	I
You my angel and my passion	C
	-
Yes such you shall be you queen of all graces	E
After the last sacraments	E
When you go beneath the grass and waxy flowers	E
To mold among the skeletons	E
	-
Then oh my beauty You must tell the vermin	B2
As it eats you up with kisses	E
That I have preserved the form and essence divine	C2
Of my decayed loves	E
