Winter night

The gas stove flame is drawing
Tectonic wrinkles on the eyelids.
Seismologist of my bosom,
Will you hide me behind
The cigarette smoke ledge?
When book covers stare at us
With that herbivorous grin,
I'll cover you with a rose petal
On the consciousness edge.
How to measure the temperature of the skin
With lips that are dry?
The misted window-glass will
Give me no reply.

I think it's a beautiful poem, too but those two lines in your last post escape me. Please, can you explain what they mean. I am really curious.

Book covers, long and convex, resemble a herbivore's (say, a rabbit's) front teeth. Emotion: super angry

But what lines: "The misted window glass will give me no reply"? It will give no reply to the question "How to measure the temperature of the skin with lips that are dry". Is that it?


Sometimes there's nobody else to expect a reply from but the window. Something is happening out there if it is transparent. There are live patterns on it if it's misted. In winte

Great, thanx for BUtyl BRomide! I like it!

There's a joke from Russian explorers of space: since the discovery of ethyl alcohol emission lines in space, we can confirm that there is NO life out there. Otherwise, that substance would have been drunk out long ago
