Dorothea | ||
Dorothea is always baking bread and cakes. |
||
Her rump is two bags of wheat flour. | ||
She has fruit-loaf breasts. | ||
Her hips are brown bread in long pans, | ||
her feet, ridges of Danish pastry, | ||
her sex a dark little doughnut | ||
with apple-sauce filling. | ||
Her body is a great kindness | ||
that tastes of vanilla, nuts, coconut | ||
and almond brittle. | ||
--“If you are afraid, my boy, | ||
I’ll only touch you with my lady-finger.” | ||
Harald Sverdrup | ||
