All mouth sky rise
a stem through every bud
rails hammered into soil
eyelids dancing on the pillow case
I try to jolt the electrode heart
make jump the wet pebbles
on the sheen of printed gemini
slide saucepans over the seeing bulb
flickering loaf of bodies
that have answered death
the shell of an underground backyard
pierced and rearing caves
of light that will not be somber
white bulbs of empty space with no beds
the stripped blood replying.
