Boulders torn
from the arms
of the mountain
screaming their own names.

A slab of cartoon crucifixes
squirming with bright tin maggots
carried along the horizon line
by a roaring train.

Where is the seismic kiss
that opens these barbed gates?
What is the sweet signature
to melt glass?

Only this brick with many eyes
unwary on the tracks
knows the coming light.
