The Olfactory Velvet The olfactory and grainy velvet dupont wine-red coloured splashed by patches of descending luminance under the chestnut trees draping mortal fate of quivering bourgeois shadows subdued in stymy in the shadow of the town where the tramway falls asleep to the bells clanged It also sleeps at night as these vehicles in their depots distant suburban timbres calling do not awaken the drape which dreams and dreams without behinds emplaced on it near the chairs which in the blackness soak up like a shoemaker's dog with game which flees from evening until morning's chant Tomorrow will awake harp velvet with fingernails clack on palms will awake velvet always velvet and the young men grassy black of feet sow with rolling mills upon their sideburns the snow of woods complete whereas the day saves once again the sordid hole of its own atoms
