Analysis of La chair
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
La chair de femme sèche ou grasse
Est le fruit de la volupté
Tour à tour vert, mûr et gâté
Que le désir cueille ou ramasse.
Mystérieuse dans sa grâce,
Exquise dans son âcreté,
La chair de femme sèche ou grasse
Est le fruit de la volupté.
Pas un seul homme ne s'en lasse.
Chacun avec avidité
Y mordrait pour l'éternité.
Et pourtant, c'est un feu qui passe,
La chair de femme sèche ou grasse !
