NIN

(We write that we may taste life twice)
Anais Nin

   
While reading in France
about the Alexandrian Thais,
in a library's discovery
chanced to Anais Nin diaries

What a chance time to grow
in the mad Thirties under cover
meeting your lovers Durrell
Henry Miller and Artaud,

You own seduced influences
of Proust,Gide and Valery
in a shelf's gallery of Cocteau,
Lawrence and Rimbaud,

The guest for today's menu
your shrink Dr. Otto Rank
drinking in your words
in Delta of Venus,Little Birds.
