They say the sea is cold,but the sea contains
the hottest blood of all,and the wildest,the most urgent.
All the whales in the wilder deeps,hot are they,as they urge
on and on, and dive beneath the icebergs.
The right whales,the sperm whales,the hammer-heads the killers
there they blow,there they blow,hot wild breath out of the sea.
And they rock,and they rock,through the sensual ages
on the depths of the seven seas,and through the salt they reel
with drunk delight and in the tropics tremble they with love
and roll with massive,strong desire ,like gods.
Then the great bull lies up against his bride in the blue deep
bed of the sea,as mountain pressing on mountain,in the zest
of life:and out of the inward roaring of the inner red ocean of
whale blood the long tip reaches strong,intense,like the
maelstrom-tip and comes to rest in the clasp and the soft,wild clutch of a she-whales fathomless body.
And over the bridge of the whale's strong phallus,linking the
wonder of whales the burning archangels under the sea keep passing,back and forth,keep passing archangels of bliss from him
to her,from her to him,great Cherubim that wait on whales in
mid-ocean,suspended in the waves of the sea great heaven of
whales in the waters,old hierarchies.
And enormous mother-whales lie dreaming suckling their
whale-tender young and dreaming with strange whale eyes wide
open in the waters of the beginning and the end.
And bull whales gather their women and whale calves in a ring
when danger threatens,on the surface of the ceaseless flood
and range themselves like great fierce Seraphim facing the threat
encircling their huddled monsters of love.
And all this happens in the sea,in the salt where God is also love
but without words:and Aphrodite is the wife of whales most happy,happy she.
And Venus among the fishes skips and is a she dolphin she is the gay,delighted porpoise sporting with love and the sea,she is the
female tunny-fish,round and happy among the males and dance
with happy blood,dark rainbow bliss in the sea.
