Two forms of elongating bone
linked by ragged strands
sunlit chains and strips of rubber
long paths by the river side
exploding into zones of spores
docks tittering with bottled milk
a swan's mask of zipper tags

arcs of racing light
far beyond the planet.
Wheat shade in its rain of pins
bark's lisp from the trunk
in crashing waves
knobs gleaming as a choir
eggs riding piano wire
clock hand swimming
through running seed.
Triangle from deep space
a wedge of buffalo sun spots

feather strands painted into a cliff
by a polar wind
houses on sticks
with tattered streamers
cooing to the machinery of cards
that slapped them upright.
