A canopy of porticos
for the open-mouthed house
embedded in the thick hillside
light bulbs muffled in pine
where the waterfall's footrest breaks
and shoots cracks through the guardrail
of a palpitated road
a doorframe in the railway
pepper edging these pillars of salt.

Chrome knobs twitching on a fortress wall
of wigs that rode a mannequin's stare
limbs melting in a stadium teacup
these ascending reefs.
