Watches and their chains shattered on a beach

And the frustrated all over will not
have any part of these eye sockets
once they are broken apart

the shells of clams wide open to the sun
hinges getting weaker in their dryness
and the salt conceals

and the merging of volcanic outpourings
suffers the air to move
over their intermixing

it adds a part, it adds a crucial piece
to those braids that do not cling to any scalp
and do not revolve and do not spin on any swing,

writes everyone

on a panoply of bedroom walls
where roses crawl like dogs with broken backs
among the vines
