light herds
lamb molecules against
stems of fading vein
blade leaf to quilt skin
for life in the hollow
of a shark's flank
twist hands together
on an infant breeze
cement gazes
twin droids on the scape
of a dry wing homing

openfaced trailer to the hot rain
exaltations openmouthed for machines
stabbing an elbow's mouth,
fern girl swingset girl
twitch bones against mid-air horizon,
cloud stage aloft for bridges
strung across the back of a grandfather moth,
one fleck of youth
to cough in the breadbowl

pharmacy vaseline, holiday snare
lased across the whip birth
of a moon on lakeface granite
glued down upon beyond's grey,
field forced piping new
englands to the dawn mutandis.
