Longitudes of wet land
feeding piercing eyes afoot
in a clay head,
leveled at elevator imprints
on the whipped path,
flickering tinfoil and cement.

Lunatic graveyards,
spoiled yeast
and spent sails,
a tent and abandoned car
folded up in the stomach.

Puddles of throat and lung blood
capping mountain water
cabins lodged in the pine ears
that gird his fireplace head
bursting pills of wax
a hot tub's cache of tobacco
and rented alcohol
erupting in speech,
a tongue tattooed grocery list,
tower of cushions bent back
by spontaneous vomit.

Fields deer kicked and shat
spreading vacant water
on rock-stacked inclines,
log roads in termite sand
swerving higher and higher
than the stripped and painted trunks
vaporizing his headdress
and velvet-lined sockets
a lane of metal tables
the cracked claw of
protruding forehead.
