Unlawful Vignettes
Brushed past -- giggling their way through --
unaware glances -- pinned on fantastical torso -- the inches -- flowers
illustrious at the bun-melting chat -- the liquorice arms entwine -- a
Corinthian approval -- as vows queue up ……. piquantly displayed -- desires
sea-saw…. heaving swaggering bosoms.
Later on, her lustful legs -- on the sprawling mattress -- stinking of gin and
vodka -- left-over glasses, tilted tumblers …….. spillage …… stains on carpet ……..
outre’ a precisionist show
“Corinthian approval” refers to St. Paul, who wrote in 2 Corinthians 12-13: “We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise. We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the sphere of service God himself has assigned to us, a sphere that also includes you. [New International Version]
ReplyDeletePrecisionism is a style of painting characterized by clinically precise, simple, and clean-edged rendering of architectural, industrial, or urban scenes usually devoid of human activity or presence. “Outre” is the French word for unconventional or bizarre: passing the bounds of what is considered proper.
