waxwings Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Good for the UK. The PL for the USA hardly gets this kind of attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger11 Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 One of her more well known poems: Warming Her Pearls for Judith Radstone Next to my own skin, her pearls. My mistress bids me wear them, warm then, until evening when I'll brush her hair. At six, I place them round her cool, white throat. All day I think of her, resting in the Yellow Room, contemplating silk or taffeta, which gown tonight? She fans herself whilst I work willingly, my slow heat entering each pearl. Slack on my neck, her rope. She's beautiful. I dream about her in my attic bed; picture her dancing with tall men, puzzled by my faint, persistent scent beneath her French perfume, her milky stones. I dust her shoulders with a rabbit's foot, watch the soft blush seep through her skin like an indolent sigh. In her looking-glass my red lips part as though I want to speak. Full moon. Her carriage brings her home. I see her every movement in my head...Undressing, taking off her jewels, her slim hand reaching for the case, slipping naked into bed, the way she always does...And I lie here awake, knowing the pearls are cooling even now in the room where my mistress sleeps. All night I feel their absence and I burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
