Up above the trembling hedges
in the fork of crossed things
the map of twisted worlds
longing to break the bright threshold
blindly painting a door

fangs and knives and their sisters
webs of cooling or sizzling death
the shape of sleep that slithers
coiling in a corner
weaving a bronze wig
snuffed sparks of a frozen suit

days that twilight does not depart from
scrubbing and raising an idol
on fettered grass
the rows of mirrored lockers.
