letra de amethyst necropolis (une chargone) - undulation

my love, do you recall the object which we saw
that fair, sweet, summer morn!
at a turn in the path a foul carcass
on a gravel strewn bed
its legs raised in the air, like a l-stful woman
burning and dripping with poisons
displayed in a shameless, nonchalant way
its belly, swollen with gases
the sun shone down upon that putrescence
as if to roast it to a turn
and to give back a hundredfold to great nature
the elements she had combined;
and the sky was watching that superb cadaver
blossom like a flower
so frightful was the stench that you believed
you’d faint away upon the grass
the blow-flies were buzzing round that putrid belly
from which came forth black battalions
of maggots, which oozed out like a heavy liquid
all along those living tatters
all this was descending and rising like a wave
or poured out with a crackling sound;
one would have said the body, swollen with a vague breath
lived by multiplication
and this world gave forth singular music
like running water or the wind
or the grain that winnowers with a rhythmic motion
shake in their winnowing baskets
the forms disappeared and were no more than a dream
a sketch that slowly falls
upon the forgotten canvas, that the artist
completes from memory alone
crouched behind the boulders, an anxious dog
watched us with angry eye
waiting for the moment to take back from the carcass
the morsel he had left
— and yet you will be like this corruption
like this horrible infection
star of my eyes, sunlight of my being
you, my angel and my passion!
yes! thus will you be, queen of the graces
after the last sacraments
when you go beneath grass and luxuriant flowers
to molder among the bones of the dead
then, o my beauty! say to the worms who will
devour you with kisses
that i have kept the form and the divine essence
of my decomposed love!
