When the boils burst
in the cathedral's breast
and the blacksmith nails
are squeezed from wooden foreheads
clouds write a corpse onto the heaving tar
an engine's petals
unfurl a metallic wedding dress

the barbed wire jokes
and cross-thatch fences leer
an airplane hangar mailbox chokes
on gasoline lips
a bedframe's handcuffed bones
will be flashlit and dancing.
