Crucifix on an electric pole
teeth torn hanging
from infinite wires
tar's brown lightning of broken vistas
mouth's guitar of tongues
spilling over hot fossils
and antique rocks.

Painted bow glued to the prow
of the ship that crashes through
ancient longings captured
in sleek rubber
planetoid fiber and fist's
knuckle embers
window lists riding parallel
to painted concrete
seat's fluorescent spell.
