Five Poems by Rose Knapp

 

Neoplatonic Forms of Venus

 

Venus’s genus species epigenetic evolution 

Pen penis sterilization by estrogen protests

Progesterone Spiro lactonic laconic crushes 

 

 

Glasses of Rosé

 

A Rose is a Rose is Rosé is a Rosary 

Pearls Beads Droplets Dansing 

 

Maximalist macabre betwixt

Curls twirls Riot Grrls url

 

Irl currents swirl & twirl

Underneath A Rose

 

On a frozen lake

Circumambulating

 

Walking around around arose

& round as aeons flitter flirtatious 

 

Flickering flights Dadaist odes Rosé

Salut! To humanities’ Idealist idolatries 

 

 

Sex, Drugs & Techno

 

She whispers beckoning Becoming Beats

Bras slip off embracing kisses

In gleeful sinful lush lustrous lavender pink

 

Yellow colours galore Galleria 

Splendour fucking frolicking 

Subass kicks in alongside 

 

Baselines & lines of Le Rococo

Hits of Molly Bloom apparitions 

 

Zigzagging tabs of LSD LUXÉ

Cheshire scatting free jazzing

Ninety-nine tailed black cats

 

When we fuck my mind is

Machine & Divinely ordained 

Highest Priestess of Nonbinary 

 

Multiverses beyond—

Human fleisch matter

 

& cybernetic energies Einsof

Comprehension complexities 

 

Humanity, Machine &

Goddesses fucking— 

 

 

Luciferous 

 

Illuminations of triune trinitarian triumphant 

Ibis ghost ivory whitest prismatic flare Light 

Incarnation incenses wafting warping Place 

 

 

Azurite 

 

Rites of writing wafting currents currants

Aromatic oak woods flowing lakeshores

Cozy posh gardens aligning along cabins
