...
¡Cuando finalmente te reencuentras después de casi un año con la dama oscura más hermosa de todos los tiempos! ¡Me muero por ver de nuevo sus bayitas! 💜
*Atropa Belladonna in bloom |
*How delightful to see you again! |
"When the Deadly Nightshade flowers,
dreamy-eyed girls
open their lids
for their lovers;
Maenads fall upon men
dripping with dreams;
& children die
from the sweetest
of inky fruits.
Belladonna,
wine of the Bacchanals,
you are indeed the witch’s berry,
I look into your open eye & see
Dionysian orgies,
women in love with death,
dying with the widest
& brightest of eyes.
Have you no shame at all
Atropa belladonna?
The other herbs
pretend to be angelic,
but you freely play
the Devil’s part.
Dwaleberry, Sorcerer’s cherry,
Murderer’s berry—
your sweetness bursts
on the tongue,
the lungs relax,
& death comes
merely
from refusing
air."
Deadly Nightshade - Erica Jong
