Excerpt
from ‘Lovers in the Land of Peyote’ (María Izquierdo and Antonin
Artaud), Slaves to Desire:
They
brought him half-dead on a donkey, took him to his room, laid his
feverish body on the bed and left me alone with him. I was
terror-stricken as I listened to his frantic screams and incoherent
ravings about virgins and donkeys. I wiped his burning forehead for
hours and tried to reach him. He writhed, flailed his arms and legs,
and I had to avoid blows carefully.
My
strength was dissolving when Antonin suddenly stilled. I feared the
worst, but he opened his eyes. Delirium had passed. His eyes were
bright and curious. Such relief overcame me that I kissed him without
thinking. I poured all the love that was burning in my heart into
that kiss. I realised what I had done only when he returned my kiss.
But there was no reason for anxiety because Antonin was overcome by
desire just like me. He kissed me feverishly, as if to compensate for
all the months of restraint. A surge of happiness flooded me. I
quickly took off my robe and pulled Antonin's pants down his legs.
Antonin
just looked at me with mild disbelief. Fearing that he would pull
away and say that we shouldn't, I quickly settled above him before he
had a chance to object. I had to feel him at least once. I think my
heart would have broken if I didn't manoeuvre him into me.
I
looked him in the eye as I slowly descended on his hard manhood,
choking from inexplicable joy. It seemed like I was becoming whole
because he was filling me. I lacked something essential before
Antonin entered my life just as my body had missed something vital
before I felt him inside me. When I came down completely, I stilled
to interpret his look. But I saw nothing except great love and total
abandonment. As if to encourage me, Antonin grabbed me by the hips
and began lifting and lowering me. I started moving and together we
found the rhythm of lovers. Our bodies moved as if of their own will,
as if saying something to each other with those feverish movements.
Movements as old as the world, yet completely new, full of mysterious
meaning known only to us. Faster, feverishly, marvellously
coordinated as if our bodies had already done that in another world
and time and we were only repeating what was carved in our hearts and
bodies.
Antonin
was moaning uncontrollably while rapidly raising his pelvis to meet
my frenzied descents. Strangled sounds were escaping my throat, my
insides were tightening from pleasure. The pressure was becoming
unbearable, almost agonising. And then a miraculous burst, spasms
that brought immense delight. The relief was so strong that I
collapsed on him. Antonin hugged me tightly and jerked a few more
times before freezing and crying out.
I
sat up and showered his face with kisses, crying and laughing at the
same time, mad from the rush of giddy joy.
