Parenthesis of night
clasped around a swollen mountain
rocks bright with agitated heat
the paint of molten voices.

To share this legendary smoke
at the edge of a sheer ledge
cost lenses of ten thousand days,
the blood-shaken stories of stairs

extending beyond the one body,
the one wet talking tongue,
a white hot light
once more removed from grey

a heaving heap of gold scarred letters
a looming leap in shade
the street's a sheet
flapping.
