Boulders with bright little compartments
soulful meteors telephoned in
from some formerly sealed world;

brown rainbows over caves blinking
in a chain of solvent echoes
that bring kisses to a treetop wind

the longing for death doused
in shadows behind woodpiles
and burnt circles that surround roots

paths breaking with twilight water
from the peak that broke my back
hot lights from a shield of orchids

the orgiastic apartments of a dead life
long gone from my claws
and ears of a thousand singing lines

followed with hairs crackling
by the reach of ghosts set free
the one prophetic wound

came traced in an oven lit cubbyhole
tongue sketched in stone
and the orb's grid quaking

quick sparks that are arching home.
