Particle windows
flickering over a high bulb tower
carpet paths humming through deep-cut gardens
tracking lights around eyes in the land
brambles cleared from the silky flank,
the downy cartridge of smoke,
the dull wet capacity of the enemy.

Shingles raining on berries
jangling the frost on dark green leaves
pounding blue-veined fists
while the red sky quakes.

Black doves and banana peels
on the altar of a park fountain
an octopus man thumbing pennies
sheer and gambling spine-blades with trays
the pitter pat of rain attracted
sideways with a magnet iron.
