Rock dove                the gears turn a core


        copper-lined freeway    white of the eye


                  reel of tape and the take-up       behind the melted metal


         double-frame hammers          waving their flagella


                   bordering on the lid-slit         to the edges of the end sheets


                       signatures are sewed together           radiant energy is also


                               leathery rockweed held fast by disks         two red-eyed parents


                                      another sexual plant               lifting water from the earth
