Bridge of bones salted by frost
the urgency an acid-powered light
projects on rock
color sifting cracked rivers
fingers tapping in metallic gloves
skull pinned beyond the spine
by a telephone pole
spanked body naked on ice
shoveling a sandstorm iris
butchered paper cones
to candied labyrinth
the souls of a vacuum hose.

A desk on the precipice arm
by a cake of bricks
swollen with raging pipes
far from the pink water spout
bread framed in butter plates
and slim dry leaves
mounds of frozen geode.
