Attacks of hooked lightning
and the final answer
from the sap of the wood
that glues my bones
to an engine oil mirror
and its ticking lamp
corrupting leaves
flashing their veins
in a rusting drainpipe
the forehead's tapped sight.

As green tendrils avenge
the healed clearings
pock marks of ancient ooze
and the ash pot pours
a branch lifts a bucket's handle
a celestial smear coils.
