Imagining curving letters
In a languid psalm
In abstract time
Full levity rolling through

Intangible phantom mystery
And the furnace of gentle dreams
A caustic womb
Champagne light
After the sacred deep blue

Majesty of dawn
Naked
And cordial
And virgin
Majesty of dawn
Naked
And cordial
And virgin

Patience and poise
Twin ribbons bare
And make vivid
A dark shallow vein
Patience and poise
Twin ribbons bare
And make vivid
A dark shallow vein
Disguise and shame
Of all light downward

A gaunt fashion
Pulled tightly over peaking bone
A gaunt fashion
Pulled tightly over peaking bone
A small scene from in the smoking censer
A heart, a heart, a heart
The pulse of rotten roots

Twining through soil
Feasting on droplets
Rest come again
Come again

Rest crack puzzled
So urgent, wild
Rest crack puzzled
So urgent, wild, violent

Freedom flutters down
The drain again
One eye wide to the braille

Of fireflies
I tunnel brutishly
Pig headed
And full of steam
Full of steam

I tunnel brutishly
Pig headed
And full of steam
Into the damp comfort
Of this lonely trench
Of this trench
Of this trench
Of this trench
Of this trench
