Sunning on the smooth rock
of a floating moon
moisting the dark lined air
leaf tips knots in a fallen twig
plows and scraping engines
pushing the evaporated world around.

Plains descending
to the circuitry of paths
nestling a glowing structure
links of the chain that was not there
snapping tight on imprisoned veils of teeth
leaked barriers of dripping dams
and a birch helmet's
yellow wasp eye.
