contrail - noun. a trail of condensed water from an aircraft or rocket at high altitude, seen as a white streak against the sky. ORIGIN: 1940s: abbreviation of condensation trail. Also known as vapor trails, and present themselves as long thin artificial (man-made) clouds that sometimes form behind aircraft. Their formation is most often triggered by the water vapor in the exhaust of aircraft engines, but can also be triggered by the changes in air pressure in wingtip vortices or in the air over the entire wing surface. Like all clouds, contrails are made of water, in the form of a suspension of billions of liquid droplets or ice crystals. Depending on the temperature and humidity at the altitude the contrail forms, they may be visible for only a few seconds or minutes, or may persist for hours and spread to be several miles wide. The resulting cloud forms may resemble cirrus, cirrocumulus, or cirrostratus. Persistent spreading contrails are thought to have a significant effect on global climate.

Adam Latham Sep 2014
Inside the Rainbow Forest
Where unicorns are born,
And fairy dust floats on the air
From sundown until dawn,
There dwells in royal splendour
Yet very rarely seen,
The king of all the pixies
With his pretty pixie queen.

His palace is a mushroom
As tall as any tree,
With bright red spots upon it
That will make you squeal with glee.
A winding golden staircase
Stretches to the very top,
In a mesmerizing spiral
That you think will never stop.

All those brave enough to climb it
Would soon chance upon a door,
With the most enormous knocker
That you really ever saw.
One hard tap summons the butler,
A polite and friendly gnome,
Serving tea and fondant fancies
That will make you feel at home.

Through a maze of vaulted chambers
Each more lavish than the last,
Passing walls lined with the portraits
Of kings from the distant past,
That dear gnome shall gently guide you,
With much merriment and song,
To the Great Hall of his master
Who resides there all day long.

From beneath a silver archway
Set with precious gems galore,
You will enter to the fanfare
Of ten trumpets, maybe more.
Dainty apple blossom petals
Shall be scattered at your feet,
As you bow your head in homage
To the king you are to meet.

With a heart bursting with wonder
You will hastily be brought,
To the throne of his most highness
Far across the royal court,
Threading through the marble towers
Of an ornate colonnade,
And a troupe of prancing dragons
With their riders on parade.

Seated high upon a pumpkin
In a matching orange gown,
Curly shoes of bright green velvet
And an elderflower crown,
The king shall bid you welcome
With a beaming toothy grin,
As he beckons to the minstrel
For the music to begin.

With his beard like cotton candy
Waving wildly in the air,
As he slides down to embrace you
From atop his lofty chair,
Both your arms shall link together
To the fiddler's merry tune,
Clicking heels and laughing loudly
As you skip around the room.

In the magic of the moment
You will give yourself to fun,
As the mischief making monarch
Tweaks your ears and cracks a pun,
All those cares your heart now carries
Shall dissolve and simply be
Lost in wondrous celebration
Of a pixie jamboree!
raven simone Jan 2013
jamie taught us salt,
nigella, the art of the beef stew
cake boss, the art of chocolate fondant,
the mafia
so rich and chewy
mafia,
the true american dream
richness and trophies and abraham
the mob engulfs the flames of life.
Nigel asleep in his room
sound, it wakes him
Nigel, he says
remember the naked chef
remember him
forever
Nigel goes downstairs
pours a glass of milk
grabs a cupcake
one boxed
he cries a tear of shame
as he remembers
Jamie Oliver
his queen
his Kingsley
his Oakley
his larry
his life
was a box of chocolate
he grabbed the caramel
but was greedy and seized the brie also
it was a sad day
as Nigel fell
off the cliff of life
into a hovel of doom...
the mob,
Nigel,
all attached
no way out
**Brie

Her smiling that was too crazier,
In me fond of love emerges in thousands,
In whirling pleasures my mind fainted,
In gullet there too fondant love stricken,
Her smiling that were too crazier,
Her rosy lips that were frenzied more than ever,
The love in them that titters forever,
With that joy my heart speaks love
Far sweeter than melody.
Eat from the ground, all the different colours of the food,
autumn comes, pain for the leaves, death dyes the life,
  Earth gives, slippery sometimes, stuntman fall on the floor for a film
nutrition beneath our feet, kaleidoscope of tastes and sensations, good,
trees that grow and give life splinter skin,
carnival of motions reaching from the ground in an infinite cascade,
hope for the future,
baseball players in a stadium, the crowds and players all wrapped around the same pleasures for a little while,
for some it's sugar,
and others ******.
  Fluffy colours fades,
samba, world feeling;
Cake at a party finger dipping from bowl to bowl of party foods refined from all recognition from the ground first manufactured by nature,
glass spilt over and sticky hair,
slither of glass on the table, children spin around on the grass,
blood, a nail from a plank of wood left on the grass, pain like the bite of a snake,
activity carries on despite the tears, dance, sponge deprived of it's fondant,
  the sun is going, the ground remains warm a while.
David Barr Jan 2014
Scale the walls of knowledge, if you will, my Western friend of ambivalence.
But, before we leap into the crevasse of botanical diversity, it is important that we understand that the smoke reveals beings which traverse physical paths of obscurity.
So, we must relax and give careful attention to the details with which we presume to be confronted.
Interpretation is a concept that reminds me of chocolate-covered mint fondant.
It is all in the power of the suffix, don't you think?
David Barr Nov 2013
Let us awake from the decay of strategic costumes where the incestuous fragrance of madness permeates golden dreams of eclectic strokes.
Bureaucratic self-enhancement nurtures docile manufacturers of laborious compliance, whilst social conscience plummets to depths of callous and entrepreneurial versatility.
Enduring imitations of an unsatisfactory kind is like pairing mint fondant with rich and savoury gravy which is acquired with strategic dishonesty.
Oh, negligent wakefulness – will we ever arise and discern those lobotomised representatives in this legislative brothel of excessive absurdity?
Shake me at one minute to midnight in the House of Lords.
Renae Jan 2014
It was no exquisite dance between royalty from the get go. Truth is I am no princess, then again you never claimed to be a prince. Our story began in tattered ruins so there was no glorious white gown for jaw dropping expressions, no 3 tiers with fondant or butter cream flowers. Righteous reasoning was all we had and a strong sense of holy legality. The only wonderful part was the giddy excitement of having a new last name and someone to love......

So here we are at the end of it all, nothing left of us but 2 amazing personalities; half of eachother. Innocent smiles and oblivious happiness, their laughter gives us reason. We could never dream of tearing them apart.

I'll stain my wrist cherry red,
I'll hang myself with angel hair [1]
I'll jump off a choco cliff
And smell bacon in the air.

Drown myself in sea of grease;
In lard or melted butter
Get lost in a Balck Forest,
Eat fondant rocks for dinner.

Stick Butterfinger down my throat
Until I can no longer breathe
Peel off my caramel skin
And run through a pile of wheat.

I'll fly my way to Sweetzerland
And then I will jump off the plane;
Railroad trip with Willie Wonka
Then get myself crushed by a train.

I'll put the gun on my temples,
Pull the trigger, out the whip cream
Roll on hot coal with Tootsie [2]
Up in the skies you'll see our steam.

I'll grate my fingers just like cheese
And dice my arms like tomatoes;
Chop the onions, hold your tears
Mash my head like potatoes.

I'd stuff myself just like turkey
A big, fat one on Thanksgiving
I'd eat to death ruthlessly
So full that I'll be choking.

Fillet myself, eat my own meat
Or not, 'cause that would be so gross
I'll poison myself instead
A drop on my wine - let's toast!

I'd overdoze on sedatives
Each pill the size of Jellybeans
Or cross the road with closed eyes
Or live in a garbage bin.

Get under attacked by hornets
As I steal their precious honey
Huge marshmallows in my mouth
Die playing Chubby Bunny.

Ride a ship on a raging sea
Of milk or strawberry smoothie
And I'll let my boat be wrecked
Then feed a whale with cookie.

Get free popcorn with your ticket
As you watch me die, sit back
Don't stand 'til it is over,
Enjoy the show and relax.

This is what you always wanted -
See me lying on my coffin
I'll make you watch in total dread
As I **** myself with muffins.

And when I die, donut tell her -
My sweetest darling - Baby Ruth
She might slap you out of shock,
You might lose not just one tooth.

From the grave, I'll send you Kisses
My dear old Cad, bury me [3]
Give this body a Reese's [4]
From food that is it's enemy.

I have here a cake for you
Open your mouth, gently chew,
Close your eyes and hold your breath,
Savor now the taste of death.
[1]Angel hair is a kind of pasta.
[2]Tootsie Roll
[3]Cadbury

(I fancy you.
I ******* fancy you.
I fondant fancy you,
I flight of fancy you,
I fancy-pants you,
I fancy the pants off you)

I fancy your body -
Every inch of it!
I fancy your hair,
I fancy your spit,
I fancy the way you
Knock on my door,
Just the knock gets me hard!
(But I don’t fancy the door.)
I fancy you first thing
In the morning
When my mouth wants to do something
Other than yawning,
I fancy the way you pull at my hair,
I fancy your smiles,
I fancy your stares,
I fancy your job,
Your wardrobe,
Your phone,
I fancy your burps,
Your kisses,
Your groans,
I fancy your tongue,
I fancy your licks,
And I really
Really
fancy your ****,
But most of all
I fancy the fact
That I fancy you
And you fancy me back.
a little bit of awful ridiculousness - but sometimes 'I fancy you' is even better than 'I love you'

You may think you’ve heard it all when it comes to wedding planning. But while everyone from your mother to your hairstylist is busy babbling on and on and on about what to expect on your big day, they’re unintentionally leaving out a few crucial details. So from the reality of post-wedding blues to the dangers of being too nice a bride, eight real women are here to share what they wish they had been told about their big days—so that you can benefit their candor, of course.

1. There’s such as thing as being too nice a bride. Says real bride Danielle, “Everyone hears about bridezilla, but what you don't hear about are the brides who get everything taken away from them because they're too nice. I was way too nice about my bridesmaids getting things done—and boy did it cause a lot of stress. My advice? Be firm with dates and express your concern if someone is slacking.”


2. You'll be pressured by others’ expectations. Real bride Jordon says, “Nobody told me how many ‘rules’ there are in the wedding industry. They tell you to create something that matches exactly what you want as a couple, but once you start to do the research, you learn how many expectations there are. For example, I can't tell you how many people think it's outrageous that we may not register, or that we're not interested in a bouquet throw.”

3. Someone will cancel last minute. Says real bride Veronica, “Someone will have a conflict and have to cancel a week—or less—before the big day. Yes, it ***** and is super annoying because your seating arrangements are finalized, but no one will notice if their table is missing two people. There's no point giving yourself a bigger headache of rearranging seating at this point—just let it go!”

4. It’s all worth it in the end. Real bride Sara says, “The one thing that no one told me was how much the stress, time, and money would all be worth it in the end. All I heard were negative points—and while those feelings of stress and pressure can't be escaped, there were so many good things that far overshadowed the bad.”

5. You won’t regret having a wedding video. Says real bride Melissa, “No one ever told me that one of the best purchases we could make was hiring a videographer. Of all the things we 'splurged' on, our videographer was my absolute favorite. There are a lot of things—in hindsight—that we could've gone without, but our videographer was the best investment because we have those memories to keep for a lifetime.”

6. Post-wedding blues are real. Real bride Anne says, “You’ve probably heard about post-wedding blues and completely brushed them off. I wish someone would have told me to take them seriously—because trust me, post-wedding blues are real. After all that excitement, the weeks after your wedding can feel like a let-down.”

7. Your groom will care about something you’ll least expect. Says real bride Cassie, “Everyone sets your expectations really low when it comes to your groom and how much he’ll participate in wedding planning. But what they don’t tell you is that he will care about something—and it’ll probably be the last thing you expect. For example, my now-husband was adamant we have a fondant cake. Who knew?”

8. Don’t expect to actually eat at your wedding. Real bride Jen says, “You won’t eat much of the food you painstakingly picked out. Between your guests—who will constantly want to gab—posing for pictures, and slicing into your cake, you’ll be lucky to get a few measly bites. I wish someone would have told me to eat well through the day—or to ask our caterer to serve us a little sooner.”

Like how fondant blankets cake

datura Dec 2024
Dutch white lace draped over the ivory long table in a seraphic quilting,
A Gawain teacup, embellished with gossamer Eustoma, sat, awaiting,

Diaphanous beads of the chandelier glistened above the lone, ceramic plate in quietude,
A tender marigold light gorged the room, as a sweet ambrosia replaced the solitude,

The Lush curtains lapped, picking up dusks gentle zephyr from behind me,
Opened oak and a soft wheeling dusting away my momentary reverie.

Trays of glimmering cloches, were carefully escorted into the room,
All adorned with silken pink ribbons, delicate as spring bloom.

I pulled out the cotton sewn chair, settling atop its the feathered doily pillow,
And rested upon the cushion, the double doors shut with a slam and a billow.

Before me, sat one of the decorated cloches, sliver like a frozen over nebulous,
I removed the reflective veil with the careful touch of folding an origami pond lotus.

Painted over in a mellow coddle of buttercream, was a layered strawberry cake,
Smiling flash at the saccharine smell, I cut into it, only to hear a trickling sibilance like a snake,

Once warm light had begun to frantically holler and splash around the room in a bleary dim haze,
Like a lagoon's catharsis, the chandelier rung out and submerged the dining hall in a flickering glaze,

During the jolting flashes, I raise the fork to my lips,
The cutlery quivering slightly under the padding of my fingertips,

Cradled by my tongue, the sponge decompounded bitterly in my jaw,
I couldn't place it, but it just tasted so overwhelmingly metallic and raw,

Shadows and honey glows, rebounding, back and fourth, playing like hungry hounds,
Staining the walls like crushed stars, over and over like a vehement clever without bounds,

As the night fed, and the chandelier flickered, I kept gulfing coppery forkfuls of food,
Sludge in my throat, wet and warm liquid slathered my gums, thickened and crude,

The rhythmic pulsing of the room, betrothed to the flavour swelling inside me,
It's taste fossilised between my gums, still, I parted my lips, welcoming it, voluntarily,

I don't know how long had passed, but the lights convulsions ceased,
Leaving the ripe gleam of the chandelier quiet and leashed,

Now before me, I could see the latter of my impulsive, gluttonous panic,
Sprawled like a burning body, a bloodied matter of fondant was slumped over the ceramic,

Like a gored lambs underbelly the feast was rich with innards and breathing with blackened bile,
Trickling down, wallowing on my chin was a stewed crimson trail, dying a patchy smile,

So I just sat there, a cup spilled at my side, spewing a tristful poison,
In quiet reflection, just me, me and the vestige of what I have done.
Hi, I've written this poem as sort of an allegory for stress eating or over indulging. But you can interpret it how you please, I'd especially love feedback because this has been one of my hardest projects and longest poetry projects, thank you for reading  <3

Water and death; the grand unifiers
My descent from glacier-like nimbus
To emerald elevation
Teaches me
The Mexican mountains fast-approaching
Barren, hills enveloped in mossy fondant
To think man festers in our planet’s orifices
Unable to sip the trickling life for fear of illness
Spreading death like gossip
And I, cramped in drifting craft
Soaring in the former future
Am safe
If Da Vinci could see me now
We’d have a **** good laugh
Comparing ironies

Ouvre tes yeux, ouvre les aux miens
Yeux de tigre pour le bleu des tiens
Peaux pâles, fondant dans les draps
Vois cette fille unique, vois moi que moi
Je ne resterai pas longtemps tu uses tes chances
Avant que de mon cœur je n’arrache ta lance
Cours étranger, cours, ou je ne serai plus là
Plus longtemps que ça Je ne te tolèrerai pas
S’il te plait regarde devant toi
Et vois ce cadeau tendu à bout de bras :
Je t’offre mon cœur comme un appât.
Lorsque du Créateur la parole féconde,
Dans une heure fatale, eut enfanté le monde
Des germes du chaos,
De son oeuvre imparfaite il détourna sa face,
Et d'un pied dédaigneux le lançant dans l'espace,
Rentra dans son repos.

Va, dit-il, je te livre à ta propre misère ;
Trop indigne à mes yeux d'amour ou de colère,
Tu n'es rien devant moi.
Roule au gré du hasard dans les déserts du vide ;
Qu'à jamais **** de moi le destin soit ton guide,
Et le Malheur ton roi.

Il dit : comme un vautour qui plonge sur sa proie,
Le Malheur, à ces mots, pousse, en signe de joie,
Un long gémissement ;
Et pressant l'univers dans sa serre cruelle,
Embrasse pour jamais de sa rage éternelle
L'éternel aliment.

Le mal dès lors régna dans son immense empire ;
Dès lors tout ce qui pense et tout ce qui respire
Commença de souffrir ;
Et la terre, et le ciel, et l'âme, et la matière,
Tout gémit : et la voix de la nature entière
Ne fut qu'un long soupir.

Levez donc vos regards vers les célestes plaines,
Cherchez Dieu dans son oeuvre, invoquez dans vos peines
Ce grand consolateur,
Malheureux ! sa bonté de son oeuvre est absente,
Vous cherchez votre appui ? l'univers vous présente
Votre persécuteur.

De quel nom te nommer, ô fatale puissance ?
Qu'on t'appelle destin, nature, providence,
Inconcevable loi !
Qu'on tremble sous ta main, ou bien qu'on la blasphème,
Soumis ou révolté, qu'on te craigne ou qu'on t'aime,
Toujours, c'est toujours toi !

Hélas ! ainsi que vous j'invoquai l'espérance ;
Mon esprit abusé but avec complaisance
Son philtre empoisonneur ;
C'est elle qui, poussant nos pas dans les abîmes,
De festons et de fleurs couronne les victimes
Qu'elle livre au Malheur.

Si du moins au hasard il décimait les hommes,
Ou si sa main tombait sur tous tant que nous sommes
Avec d'égales lois ?
Mais les siècles ont vu les âmes magnanimes,
La beauté, le génie, ou les vertus sublimes,
Victimes de son choix.

Tel, quand des dieux de sang voulaient en sacrifices
Des troupeaux innocents les sanglantes prémices,
Dans leurs temples cruels,
De cent taureaux choisis on formait l'hécatombe,
Et l'agneau sans souillure, ou la blanche colombe
Engraissaient leurs autels.

Créateur, Tout-Puissant, principe de tout être !
Toi pour qui le possible existe avant de naître :
Roi de l'immensité,
Tu pouvais cependant, au gré de ton envie,
Puiser pour tes enfants le bonheur et la vie
Dans ton éternité ?

Sans t'épuiser jamais, sur toute la nature
Tu pouvais à longs flots répandre sans mesure
Un bonheur absolu.
L'espace, le pouvoir, le temps, rien ne te coûte.
Ah ! ma raison frémit ; tu le pouvais sans doute,
Tu ne l'as pas voulu.

Quel crime avons-nous fait pour mériter de naître ?
L'insensible néant t'a-t-il demandé l'être,
Ou l'a-t-il accepté ?
Sommes-nous, ô hasard, l'oeuvre de tes caprices ?
Ou plutôt, Dieu cruel, fallait-il nos supplices
Pour ta félicité ?

Montez donc vers le ciel, montez, encens qu'il aime,
Soupirs, gémissements, larmes, sanglots, blasphème,
Plaisirs, concerts divins !
Cris du sang, voix des morts, plaintes inextinguibles,
Montez, allez frapper les voûtes insensibles
Du palais des destins !

Terre, élève ta voix ; cieux, répondez ; abîmes,
Noirs séjours où la mort entasse ses victimes,
Ne formez qu'un soupir.
Qu'une plainte éternelle accuse la nature,
Et que la douleur donne à toute créature
Une voix pour gémir.

Du jour où la nature, au néant arrachée,
S'échappa de tes mains comme une oeuvre ébauchée,
Qu'as-tu vu cependant ?
Aux désordres du mal la matière asservie,
Toute chair gémissant, hélas! et toute vie
Jalouse du néant.

Des éléments rivaux les luttes intestines ;
Le Temps, qui flétrit tout, assis sur les ruines
Qu'entassèrent ses mains,
Attendant sur le seuil tes oeuvres éphémères ;
Et la mort étouffant, dès le sein de leurs mères,
Les germes des humains !

La vertu succombant sous l'audace impunie,
L'imposture en honneur, la vérité bannie ;
L'errante liberté
Aux dieux vivants du monde offerte en sacrifice ;
Et la force, partout, fondant de l'injustice
Le règne illimité.

La valeur sans les dieux décidant des batailles !
Un Caton libre encor déchirant ses entrailles
Sur la foi de Platon !
Un Brutus qui, mourant pour la vertu qu'il aime,
Doute au dernier moment de cette vertu même,
Et dit : Tu n'es qu'un nom !...

La fortune toujours du parti des grands crimes !
Les forfaits couronnés devenus légitimes !
La gloire au prix du sang !
Les enfants héritant l'iniquité des pères !
Et le siècle qui meurt racontant ses misères
Au siècle renaissant !

Eh quoi ! tant de tourments, de forfaits, de supplices,
N'ont-ils pas fait fumer d'assez de sacrifices
Tes lugubres autels ?
Ce soleil, vieux témoin des malheurs de la terre,
Ne fera-t-il pas naître un seul jour qui n'éclaire
L'angoisse des mortels ?

Héritiers des douleurs, victimes de la vie,
Non, non, n'espérez pas que sa rage assouvie
Endorme le Malheur !
Jusqu'à ce que la Mort, ouvrant son aile immense,
Engloutisse à jamais dans l'éternel silence
L'éternelle douleur !

cut flesh like a wedding cake
heavy porcelain fondant
each rib a slice topped with cherry filling
a body that is no longer mine

open to a glossy woman pg. 6
9 moves your guy will love
tear her in two, each ligament snapped
a body that is no longer hers


the body is a temple and ours
have been decimated, deconstructed
made for human consumption and
delivered to our loyal subscribers
Je voudrais être, sur la terre,
L'unique héritier des grands rois
Dont la force et l'éclat font taire
Tous les revendiqueurs des droits,

De ces rois d'Asie et d'Afrique,
Monarques des derniers pays
Où les maîtres sont, sans réplique,
Sans réserve, encore obéis.

Je verrais, à mon tour idole,
Les trois quarts du monde vivant
Se prosterner sous ma parole
Comme un champ de blés sous le vent.

Les tribus des races voisines
Feraient affluer par milliers
Les venaisons dans mes cuisines,
Les vins rares dans mes celliers,

Des chevaux plein mes écuries,
Des meutes traînant leurs valets,
Des marbres, des tapisseries,
Des vases d'or, plein mes palais !

Sous mes mains j'aurais des captives
Belles de pleurs, et sous mes pieds
Les têtes fières ou craintives
De leurs pères humiliés.

Je posséderais sans conquête
Mon vaste empire, et sans rival !
Dans la sécurité complète
D'un pouvoir salué légal.

Alors, alors, ô joie intense !
Convoquant mon peuple et ma cour,
Devant la servile assistance
Moi-même, en plein règne, au grand jour,

Avec un cynisme suprême,
Je briserais sur mon genou
Le sceptre avec le diadème,
Comme un enfant casse un joujou ;

De mes épaules accablées
Arrachant le royal manteau,
Aux multitudes assemblées
Je jetterais l'affreux fardeau ;

Pour les déshérités prodigue
Je laisserais tous mes trésors,
Comme un torrent qui rompt sa digue,
Se précipiter au dehors ;

Cessant d'appuyer ma sandale
Sur la nuque des prisonniers ;
Je rendrais la terre natale
Aux plus fameux comme aux derniers ;

J'abandonnerais à mes troupes
Tout l'or glorieux des rançons ;
Puis je laisserais dans mes coupes
Boire mes propres échansons ;

Sur mes parcs, mes greniers, mes caves,
Par-dessus fossé, grille et mur,
Je lâcherais tous mes esclaves
Comme des ramiers dans l'azur !

Tout mon harem, filles et veuves,
S'en retournerait au foyer,
Pour enfanter des races neuves
Que nul tyran ne pût broyer,

Qui ne fussent plus la curée
D'un vainqueur, suppôt de la mort,
Mais serves d'une loi jurée
Dans un libre et paisible accord,

Fondant la cité juste et bonne
Où chaque homme en levant la main
Sent qu'il atteste en sa personne
La dignité du genre humain !

Et moi qui fuis même la gêne
Des pactes librement conclus,
Moi qui ne suis roseau ni chêne,
Ni souple, ni viril non plus,

Je m'en irais finir ma vie
Au milieu des mers, sous l'azur,
Dans une île, une île assoupie
Dont le sol serait vierge et sûr,

Île qui n'aurait pas encore
Senti l'ancre des noirs vaisseaux,
Dont n'approcheraient que l'aurore,
Le nuage et le pli des eaux.

Dans cette oasis embaumée,
**** des froides lois en vigueur,
Viens, dirais-je à la bien-aimée,
Appuyer ton cœur sur mon cœur ;

Des lianes feront guirlandes
Entre les palmiers sur nos fronts,
Et tu verras des fleurs si grandes
Qu'ensemble nous y dormirons.
Aimez vos mains afin qu'un jour vos mains soient belles,
Il n'est pas de parfum trop précieux pour elles,
Soignez-les. Taillez bien les ongles douloureux,
Il n'est pas d'instruments trop délicats pour eux.

C'est Dieu qui fit les mains fécondes en merveilles ;
Elles ont pris leur neige au lys des Séraphins,
Au jardin de la chair ce sont deux fleurs pareilles,
Et le sang de la rose est sous leurs ongles fins.

Il circule un printemps mystique dans les veines
Où court la violette, où le bluet sourit ;
Aux lignes de la paume ont dormi les verveines ;
Les mains disent aux yeux les secrets de l'esprit.

Les peintres les plus grands furent amoureux d'elles,
Et les peintres des mains sont les peintres modèles.

Comme deux cygnes blancs l'un vers l'autre nageant,
Deux voiles sur la mer fondant leurs pâleurs mates,
Livrez vos mains à l'eau dans les bassins d'argent,
Préparez-leur le linge avec les aromates.

Les mains sont l'homme, ainsi que les ailes l'oiseau ;
Les mains chez les méchants sont des terres arides ;
Celles de l'humble vieille, où tourne un blond fuseau,
Font lire une sagesse écrite dans leurs rides.

Les mains des laboureurs, les mains des matelots
Montrent le hâle d'or des Cieux sous leur peau brune.
L'aile des goélands garde l'odeur des flots,
Et les mains de la Vierge un baiser de la lune.

Les plus belles parfois font le plus noir métier,
Les plus saintes étaient les mains d'un charpentier.

Les mains sont vos enfants et sont deux sœurs jumelles,
Les dix doigts sont leurs fils également bénis ;
Veillez bien sur leurs jeux, sur leurs moindres querelles,
Sur toute leur conduite aux détails infinis.

Les doigts font les filets et d'eux sortent les villes ;
Les doigts ont révélé la lyre aux temps anciens ;
Ils travaillent, pliés aux tâches les plus viles,
Ce sont des ouvriers et des musiciens.

Lâchés dans la forêt des orgues le dimanche,
Les doigts sont des oiseaux, et c'est au bout des doigts
Que, rappelant le vol des geais de branche en branche,
Rit l'essaim familier des Signes de la Croix.

Le pouce dur, avec sa taille courte et grasse,
A la force ; il a l'air d'Hercule triomphant ;
Le plus faible de tous, le plus doux a la grâce,
Et c'est le petit doigt qui sut rester enfant.

Servez vos mains, ce sont vos servantes fidèles ;
Donnez à leur repos un lit tout en dentelles.
Ce sont vos mains qui font la caresse ici-bas ;
Croyez qu'elles sont sœurs des lys et sœurs des ailes :
Ne les méprisez pas, ne les négligez pas,
Et laissez-les fleurir comme des asphodèles.

Portez à Dieu le doux trésor de vos parfums,
Le soir, à la prière éclose sur les lèvres,
Ô mains, et joignez-vous pour les pauvres défunts,
Pour que Dieu dans les mains rafraîchisse nos fièvres,

Pour que le mois des fruits vous charge de ses dons :
Mains, ouvrez-vous toujours sur un nid de pardons.

Et vous dites, - ô vous, qui, détestant les armes,
Mirez votre tristesse au fleuve de nos larmes,
Vieillard dont les cheveux vont tout blancs vers le jour,
Jeune homme aux yeux divins où se lève l'amour,
Douce femme mêlant ta rêverie aux anges,

Le cœur gonflé parfois au fond des soirs étranges,
Sans songer qu'en vos mains fleurit la volonté -
Tous, vous dites : « Où donc est-il, en vérité,
Le remède, ô Seigneur, car nos maux sont extrêmes ? »

- Mais il est dans vos mains, mais il est vos mains mêmes.

“Oh, what a wonderful wedding,”
Croons my best friend from across the table
“Yes, what a wonderful wedding,”
Swoons her worst enemy, agreeing,
Then, in unison strains, they both nod, decisive,
“Oh, yes, but what a shame,”
I blink, intrigued by the news ‘bout to break,
All whilst stabbing a fork at cake.
“The pure bride in white is a *****.”
They say, voices cacophonic and melodic,
“Her husband isn’t the one,
The one she hasn’t met yet,”
I sit between them, innocent,
Now utterly unengaged to the conversation,
Eating fondant; confounded; I don’t even know
Who the pure ***** bride in white is
Déjà j'ai vu le verger
Se parer de fleurs nouvelles ;
Le Zéphyr, toujours léger,
Déjà folâtre autour d'elles.

L'hiver fuit ; tout va changer,
Tout renaît : à ce bocage
Le printemps rend le feuillage,
Aux verts tapis leur fraîcheur,
Aux rossignols leur ramage ;
Et non la paix à mon cœur.

Le soleil, fondant la glace
Qui blanchissait le coteau,
Revêt d'un éclat nouveau
Le gazon qui la remplace.

Le ruisseau libre en son cours,
Avec son ancien murmure,
Reprend ses anciens détours.
Son eau, plus calme et plus pure,
Suit sa pente sans efforts ;
Et, fuyant dans la prairie,
Féconde l'herbe fleurie
Dont Flore embellit ses bords.

Voyez-vous le vieil érable
Couronner de rameaux verts
Son front large et vénérable
Qui se rit de cent hivers ?
Une naissante verdure
Revêt aussi ses vieux bras,
Dégagés des longs frimas
Que suspendait la froidure.

Oh ! que les champs ont d'appas !
La plaine, au ****, se colore
De l'émail changeant des fleurs,
Que n'outragea pas encore
Le fer cruel des faneurs.

La passagère hirondelle
À son nid est de retour :
La douce saison d'amour
Dans nos climats la rappelle.
Elle accourt à tire-d'aile,
L'imprudente, et ne voit pas
L'insidieuse ficelle
Dont l'homme a tissu ses lacs :
À travers l'onde et l'orage,
Quand elle affrontait la mort,
La pauvrette, **** du port,
Ne prévoyait pas le sort
Qui l'attendait au rivage !

Désormais en liberté,
La pastourelle enflammée
Court à l'onde accoutumée
Qui lui peignait sa beauté.
Contre l'infidélité
Le clair miroir la rassure,
Et lui dit que les autans,
Ces fléaux de la nature,
Moins à craindre que le temps,
N'ont pas gâté sa figure.

Déjà j'ai vu les agneaux,
Oubliant la bergerie,
Brouter l'herbe des coteaux
Et bondir dans la prairie.
L'impatient voyageur
Sort de sa retraite oisive,
Et la barque du pêcheur
Flotte plus **** de la rive.

De la cime du rocher
D'où son regard se promène,
Déjà le hardi nocher
Affronte l'humide plaine ;
Fatigué du long repos
Dans lequel l'hiver l'enchaîne,
Il retourne sur les flots.
**** des paternels rivages
Qu'il ne doit jamais revoir,
Il court, hélas ! plein d'espoir,
Chercher de plus riches plages.
Intrépide, il fuit le port.
À la gaîté qui l'anime,
Le croirait-on sur l'abîme
Où cent fois il vit la mort ?

Et moi seul, quand l'espérance
Luit au fond de tous les cœurs,
Je vois la saison des fleurs,
Sans voir finir ma souffrance !
**** de partager mes feux,
Daphné rit de ma tristesse.
Hélas ! le trait qui me blesse
Ne part-il pas de ses yeux ?

Mille fois, dans mon délire,
Ceint de lauriers toujours verts,
J'ai célébré dans mes vers,
Et la beauté que je sers,
Et l'amour qu'elle m'inspire.

Ah ! si d'éternels mépris,
Daphné, sont encor le prix
D'une éternelle constance,
Tremble : l'amour outragé
Peut être à la fin vengé
De ta longue indifférence :
Je puis, de la même voix
Qui te chanta sur ma lyre,
Publier tout à la fois
Tes rigueurs et mon martyre.

Qu'ai-je dit ? pardonne-moi ;
Pardonne, ô ma douce amie !
D'un cœur qui se plaint de toi
Idole toujours chérie.
Un siècle entier, nuit et jour,
J'ai langui dans la contrainte ;
Et c'est un excès d'amour
Qui m'arrache cette plainte.

Mais, ô Daphné ! soit que ton cœur
Dédaigne ou partage ma flamme,
Dans ta pitié, dans ta rigueur,
Sois toujours l'âme de mon âme.

Écrit en 1785.
L'église Saint-Nicolas
Du Chardonnet bat un glas,
Et l'église Saint-Étienne
Du Mont lance à perdre haleine
Des carillons variés
Pour de jeunes mariés,
Tandis que la cathédrale
Notre-Dame de Paris,
Nuptiale et sépulcrale,
Bourdonne dans le ciel gris.

Ainsi la chance bourrue
Qui m'a logé dans la rue
Saint-Victor, seize, le veut ;
Et l'on fait ce que l'on peut,
Surtout à l'endroit des cloches,
Quand on a peu dans ses poches
De cet or qui vous rend rois,
Et lorsque l'on déménage,
Vous permet de faire un choix
À l'abri d'un tel tapage.

Après tout, ce bruit n'est pas
Pour annoncer mon trépas
Ni mes noces. Lors, me plaindre
Est oiseux, n'ayant à craindre
De ce conflit de sonneurs
Grands malheurs ni gros bonheurs.
Faut en prendre l'habitude ;
C'est de la vie, aussi bien :
La voix douce et la voix rude
Se fondant en chant chrétien...

A tiny cake
sickly sweet

covered in fondant icing pressed paper thin and filled
with jam
or
buttercream
all one word

marzipan
made of almond  
fruit imitating

that yellow, warm, soft, sponge

Eat of me, that you may be filled
It was such an exquisite marriage
The bride was lovely
The groom on his horse
And rain that fell as a sign of good luck.
The guests all arrived in their festive array
And it went as smoothly as carefully planned.
But the wedding cake - Oh my Heavens the cake !
A cake with no rival in the annals of time.
A cake that was baked by a host of proud bakers.
It had so many layers and so many flavors,
But way too much icing in billowing excess
With overgrown meadows of fondant flowers.
There was extravagant scrollwork around the edges
And even surprises baked coyly inside.
But it took way too long to light the tall candle
That finally decorated the top tier.
It was served up in dozens of little small wedges
To the multitudes of the invited guests
Who never saw the whole cake as presented
But only the dainty slice that they were served.
The party went on far into the night
And everyone had a fantastical time.
It must be agreed, twas a world class reception
Except for that cake - that too fabulous cake
ljm
Nobody ever told them that designer's motto:   "Less is More"
A sinister minister giving tongue twisters
Sicker than the average savage behind havoc
I was born into a dramatic frequency statics
Statistic of stereotypes stays on my biscuits
Eating noodles to triscuts check the cold cuts
Giving up the what? Funk that is the biz
I flip the kabbitz make em like a frog and ribbit
Ribbit this ain't scripted my words deeply encrypted
Inserted deep in ya nogging got ya mind jogging
Murderous thoughts that I lyrically caught
Foaming to a froth straight up in a manger's cloth
I was tucked away where the darkness kept me sway
Obeys the ocean sprays
Cannons meaning than Bruce Banner
Incredible with the hulk run like Marshall Faulk
Ram through scams silence the lambs of shams
Bump out the flim flams they say *******
This brother doing it again like forces of the wind
Can't escape the rhymes rippling crippling  
Emcees til crumble like broken cookies
Milk the imperials with more killaz than serials
Feel me they though? Since hells above below
Got even angels to demons fighting over my opening portal flows  halos
Burns a
Thousands degrees hotter than the suns energy
My synergy deadly forced Illuminati
They want my body but I clear chaos shotty
Once the bullets found me it ceased in its accuracy
I'm Al Simmons to Spawn hidden wreckage wars at dawn con
A command out of its demand reprimands
ripping hands off of the false politicians
Adapted complex Napoleon Dynamite
This kids off the chart aimmin'for ya hearts
Part the sparks it's fourth of July everyday
Is a nother soul that runs away body decay
Thoughts delayed frayed but mental pays
Attention to the immoveable conviction
Im benching friction still break laws jurisdiction



Funky sweats off the beats of the monkey
Rhymes spunky like my girls ***** chunky
Along with the breast from East to West
Manifest a bless over a sess minus stress
Pecs get stretched like a deck of cards
Joker broad and brolic true alcoholic frolic
With the gun play heads I shipped away
The fed express way tunnels on delay
Once they play my jams slams all grands
Stands ovation from crowds pinning masons
Accept ya fate with the realism I create
My career bigger than KRS one nose out goes
The flows straight comet sew northern lights
Flashing plight under the cities light
Excite a ****** delight souls a kite might
Tested greatly infected all morals florals
Laid at the open burials stake tears is fake
Over those who got caked without the icing
Slicing opponents with michete pricing
Nice and million and one ways to a dicing
As blood trickles fondant murders abundant
Heads is taunted mind's a house being hunted
Can't move on shaky ground battling nouns
Over corporate downs got stocks to drown
Hit em like Dow Jones skull and bones flown
Deep into the television sets injects broken affect
Mandella cold fella obese chumps like Della
You've been touched by an angel gun ranger
Fact stranger than fiction breeching a lynching
It's big Yosef cooking rhymes out of ya kitchen
