VI. Le Regard Langoureux

VI. Le Regard Langoureux

Next to nothing; no eidos, there is the signature of tropane alkaloids—
Paralyzed regions—Vacating coffin text dreams of hamadryas baboon,
Or fertile estuaries under a hanged man’s tree—Mandrakes from the sixth
Day remorse of the first couple, for a primal horde congregating as eels—

For impulse studies in a renovated gun factory; La Salpêtrière, with Charcot;
Signposted by No.19 Berggasse—Who is to be praised but the eel’s gonad

Fermented in 400 females—Suspecting later meiotic divisions in eel gonads—
Freud mined this from a  year on the high Adriatic; 1876, in Trieste—Tropane
Alkaloids of Atropa belladonna as hypnotics, and arrow poisons; Jean-Martin Charcot
Shot through with 15 of his medical eponyms—Madame Blavatsky’s stuffed baboon

With The Origin of Species (1859) under its arm; Charcot’s mesmerism, a recursive eel—

Enjoining our refusal to insert a subject here—In English, Freud read Act II, Scene VI—

Then love-devouring death do what he dare—As it was composed during the last six

Elizabethan Parliaments’ sixty-six perpetual acts—Her wedding knife, for gonad

Excision—She lays it down, among shrieks of mandrakes—Exchange of self for another, eel
Nets were cast into the Nile for votive coffins—Purported effect of taking tropane alkaloids
Orally, belladonna, or mandragora, is the dream of being an animal—Oddly, Charcot,

Chair of Neurology, opposed animal experiments—Freud’s figurine of Thoth the baboon

Of the dead Ptolemies—Cleopatra VII’s hexaremes no longer dock in Actium—A baboon,

Lunar scribe, who aided Isis in Osiris' resurrection, whose penis fits the sail’s mast for six

Divisions of Duat; he does the soul’s accountancy—He diagnosed multiple sclerosis, Charcot,

Where the enervated body becomes its own flaccid coffin—After the seventh cut, the gonads
Of initiates are returned; he is taught by Thoth to fornicate—The creator, Atum, took to water as an eel—

It is something to hold on to—After indifferent voices, the Feather of Truth, the tropane alkaloid

Of the Ebers papyrus—Egyptian henbane, to rest the gut—Until the 1960s, the tropane,
Scopolamine was given with an opioid for twilight sleep—Libido is for the active baboon’s

Exhibited surface, a female’s pink buttocks—For Freud, father of six, it is a hidden reservoir—Eels

And elvers encircled the drowned sailor in Ulysses; subsuming the Odyssey’s chapters—Six

Muscles control the movement of the eye, and ocular migraines, paresis, absorbed Charcot—

Before, a rash of killings after suggestive hypnosis; Gilles de la Tourette shot in the head—Gonads

Remain in an indifferent stage before six weeks as an embryo—Both sexes’ paired gonads,

Superannuated—Haploid, or of one eidos—Committed Freud to the sexual drives; the tropane

Alkaloid, cocaine, would not be synthesized until 1898—He strolls Haussmann’s Paris, Charcot’s
Dynamic lesion of hysteria, not anatomical or incurable, beginning to seed—Hamadryas baboon
Cross-legged with a scroll, or guarding northerly lungs in canopic jars, for burning sighs of love—Eel-

Slick, death is always at work, and dreaming bird-girls in Trieste for Stephen Daedalus on June 16^th—

Swine dreams, gonadic functions, of daedala Circe, a witch, are no sooner divided than a six

Stepped throne—Your screen-tired eyes, Charcot would note, dilate as would a cogent baboon’s,

With the need for no ordinary happiness, in lived-in darkness among tropane derivatives, in hidden generations, like the eel.
