SITRI.--The
Twelfth Spirit is Sitri. He is a Great Prince and appeareth at first
with a Leopard's head and the Wings of a Gryphon, but after the
command of the Master of the Exorcism he putteth on Human shape, and
that very beautiful. He enflameth men with Women's love, and Women
with Men's love; and causeth them also to show themselves naked if it
be desired. He governeth 60 Legions of Spirits. His Seal is this, to
be worn as a Lamen before thee, etc.
On
Rural Route 3, we burned our trash
in
a rusted perforated barrel.
It
was my chore
by
dint of my masculinity,
to
tend to the fire.
The
mix of circulars and newsprint
the
blue fire of ink
the
molten plastics
and
foul black smoke
Lightening-split
oaks
hung
over the shower of sparks
in
the tumble of trash
my
mother's magazines
slick,
glossy
the
women greased,
their
sexes split and pink
afraid
of discovery,
I
turned the pages with a stick
in
the midst of the flame
the
oily bellies and half-mast cocks
the
red painted mouths and breasts
the
tangle of pubic hair and pink labia
all
consumed in fire
