And a Vogel Sang in Victoria Square

To describe the sexual act with a friend
is hardly decent, said the detective.

Genitals connotes incestuousness, he,

There is more than a suggestion of indecency
about it, he claimed. Let my white swan of quietness
lie quiet, then, in the black swan’s breast. And
offer your wrists to be manacled for my arrest.
