The slim attractions of sculpted rocks
necklaced on a jutting ridge
placed by a celestial pull
circling painted sand

the sap of stumps regurgitating the image
of holographic cousin trees
vessels splitting into feathered crones
the teeth of bitter roots

a sky rope and fettered cheese
cloud ships with cluttered windows
wheels of rope and welded crystal
twists of mottled coil
the clapping of metal hands

a full grown man in a teapot
puffing hollow steam.
