The Effectual Marriage

Songs to Joannes



	I Spawn of Fantasies	XI Dear one at your mercy	XXI I store up nights against you	XXXI Crucifixion
	II The skin-sack In which a wanton duality	XII Voices break on the confines of passion	XXII Green things grow	XXXII The moon is cold
	III We might have coupled	XIII Come to me    There is something	XXIII Laughter in solution	XXXIII The prig of passion — — — —
	IV Once in a mezzanino	XIV Today	XXIV The procreative truth of Me	XXXIV Love
	V Midnight empties the street	XV Seldom    Trying for Love	XXV Licking the Arno
	VI I know the Wire-Puller intimately	XVI We might have lived together	XXVI Shedding our petty pruderies
	VII My pair of feet	XVII I don't care	XXVII Nucleus    Nothing
	VIII I am the jealous store-house	XVIII Out of the severing	XXVIII The steps go up for ever
	IX When we lifted	XIX Nothing so conserving	XXIX Evolulion fall foul of
	X Shuttle-cock and battle-door	XX Let Joy go solace-winged	XXX In some
