Oh Lion in a peculiar guise,
Sharp Roman road to Paradise,
Come eat me up, I'll pay thy toll
With all my flesh, and keep my soul.
― Stevie Smith

A poem a day from deemikay.
Today, Le Revenant by Stevie Smith. I'm wondering if she was thinking about a similarly titled poem by Baudelaire? But this is Stevie being Stevie, of course.
(Original and plenty of translations of the Baudelaire here: https://fleursdumal.org/poem/171 )
