slight of hand
in that absurd moment
when in our lovemaking
we form a number not a
name,
undulate together
as in books of erotica
(Chapter 6, Plate 9, Figure 69)
fornicate to the
gramophone recording of
love making songs of sperm whales
under the umbrellas of
Green Peace
watchers
voyeurs to the sex life of
behemoths in Pacific Waters
or green porno tapes of
NatGeo film crews with
Siberian villagers
who primp and preen
their cattle for the slaughter of love
wedding bells and courtship ceremonies
to spice up the suckling and sucking
nothing is absurdly impossible when
we are disconnected from our bodies
from ourselves
my head floats between the
glass-ball buoy of the sea
and cloud-riven mountains
the flick of your finger reminds
me of ecstasy and I fall back into
the arms Karma and Sutra
our weekly foursome
in the matters of
luxuria
without pain
of remembrance
Composed for mlmm Bonus 189 Thanks Yves for the nod. The quote is just so amazing and goes towards explaining Escher’s attitude towards art and life.

Thank you, Laura. My theatre of the absurd. French surreal film making of the 1960s in words.
It was quite a lot of fun.

Wow. I’m thinking that’s a while different prompt you are playing with. 😉 I love the playfulness and the lounging between the sheets

this was like wending one’s way through a story that is both stimulating and yet absurdly tittering in a an odd fashion …. although Escher may have been the inspiration, I feel like there is a Dali-esque influence here too :)

” She married Henrik for how titillating his generously-sized walrus mustache felt as it brushed against her naked breasts and thighs when they made love.” is NOT the opening line to “Wordle #: 130 Presents: Acedia and Henrik or Antipodean Love: A Melodrama in 222 words” but perhaps it should have been. Gotta love the moustache — let’s go for it. A challenge: opening line “Gotta love the moustache” or a variation thereof. No rush — when the mood or the prompt seems fit.

LOL …. okay …. now that whole quote which was NOT the opening line? Ha ha! brilliant – unfortunately, I now have this vision in my head of two generously sized people, in various stages of undress and one huge bushy and thick mustache …. well …. LOL …. okay … challenge accepted …. “gotta love the moustache” …. *gigglinh* to self … make mental note …. and see what happens … :D
