Kings of the shelf
and the twisting wind
layer of sparks
suited in glimmering plastics
past the sea of toppled tree trunks
past miles of slotted ooze
waffle iron lines
on a painted duck
a plume of water in a workman's belt
a handstand on speckled girders
above the furnace of the cabinet's file
in a glaze of lipstick and cement
an octopus of skulls
flossing with electric wire.
