.....

Ocean is laced and interlaced
           both sides for four pointed atolls


                         the universe was water
                  intermixed blocks of graphite, uranium


   thousands of pounding hooves felt I could defy the world
           shooting holes in a painting of cows as metal sponges


                               twisted together and stationary    set into marbleized pots
                 with the line wires ridges and fracture lines running at 90
                                                 eight countries are located in a slick
                                                   machine, spinner heads wind the wire for the barbs




                      flattened antic crustal plate


                                 the bristle of the wild oat   the transported floor
