The Fountain of Blood
My blood in waves seems
sometimes to be spouting
as though in rhythmic sobs
a fountain swooned.

it flows, transforming paving stones to isles,
slaking the thirst of creatures,

in precious wines
to lull in me the fear that undermines,

I've also sought forgetfulness in lust,
but love's a bed of needles, and they thrust
to give more drink to each rapacious whore
