Eau de Parfum

Sharp snake tongue with a cloud body. Tripping into dessert space with hi-fi notes that wash and low nimbus notes that linger. Earth, vine, thorn and sharp summer.

“For my part, Frau ripens on my skin as if in a time-lapsed film, from firm, watery white-green body into warm afternoon juiciness. The glistening contents oozing from an aloe vera or some other succulent are spread liberally over tomato pulp. Bunches of savories flicker at the edges of
the field. Rustling grasses stretch the summertime sadness of Frau into
a soft drawl with which a grand departure is announced. But after, she lingers, lingers. Latently, Frau is more cool down than drydown, the doubts and sense of loss that follow a heated confrontation in any number of ‘other woman songs’ playing wistfully on a country music radio station. Frau decided she had it coming. Frau goes vacant with the front door left gaping, gaps in the landscape, gaps in the symbolic order. The sunstroke has received treatment but what now to do about the night sweats? What cottony, talcum, or cardboard fan stapled to a balsa wood handle?”
