nostrils

Another of the guys handed him a cigarette. We passed it around between

four or five of us. I took a hit and exhaled through my nostrils. Then saw

Curly Wagner walking in.

The luscious fat distilled upon his chin,

Exuded from his nostrils and his eyes, 30

While still like hungry death he fed his maw;

The luscious fat distilled upon his chin,

Exuded from his nostrils and his eyes,

While still like hungry death he fed his maw;

And sway’d the chestnut’s thousand cones,

And fill’d my nostrils with perfumes,

And shaped the clouds in waifs and zones,

No bruise upon her, in her mouth no dust,

No foreign bodies in her nostrils, neck

Without a mark, no punctures, cuts or scars

"I long for Silence as they long for breath

Whose helpless nostrils drink the bitter sea;

What thing can be

Lifting the yoke encumbered head,

With their dilated nostrils spread,

They silently inhale

Of the news which alone could save Aix from her fate,

With his nostrils like pits full of blood to the brim,

And with circles of red for his eye-sockets' rim.
