THE G FORCES EATING IN SPACE

Now, in the middle of the ocean, they are beginning to slow down
with the rest of the solar system

unending resurrections (an uneven wheel)
other trim parts well above,

some like a dove, and some
like a lady's slipper
animals with appendages

the fingernails of a goddess
the accounts of all the mercury
the planet: the northern wastes of a one-million-pound thrust.
