Cranes above the overpass
alphabets gliding across
its shining underbelly
tanks of glue with pierced eyes
tubs of eloquent mercury

halls with feathered fog
that lead to picnic orgies
in a courtyard of shimmering green
a roaring train's veiled
mouth of light
and rear car's fevered blanket

lines ascending on the rubber glare
of glass helmets climbing
a trail of gore where jewels blink
pulleys cranking for lunar
tears.
