Black A, White E, Red I, Green U, Blue O: Vowels.
Someday I'll explain your burgeoning births:
A, a corset; black and hairy, buzzing with flies
Bumbling like bees around a merciless stench,
And shadowy gulfs; E, white vapors and tents, proud
Glacial peaks, white kings, shivering Queen Anne's lace;
I, purples, bloody spittle, lips' lovely lighter
In anger or drunken contrition;
U, cycles, divine vibrations of viridian seas;
Peace of pastures sown with beasts, wrinkles
Stamped on studious brows as if by alchemy;
O, that last Trumpet, overflowing with strange discord,
Silences bridged by Worlds and Angels:
-O the Omega, the violet beam from His Eyes!
Vowels (Alt. Trans.) was written by Arthur Rimbaud.
