drum hole electricities of snake
closed mouth buried in wide mouth

shores breaking open from sound
ears more powerful than earth
lice quick in lines
prettier than hair

guitar repetition of curves
nipples broadcast above a keyboard
pianos many miles deep
in forests are old women's bodies,
nude as nothing else is nude,
outstretched wrists the scars
of rejected blades
wings of old women tightening
to blast the jutting pines
with take-off's breath

sky's a drum hole
all skies are being beaten on
