I am a pulled thorn
staring from a curbstone
white shroud curling off
a black dagger

revealed of architectural darkness
eyes habituated to the blade
a pearl graced bed of nails
the open mouth of my house

conceiving on a hill
of continental grass
the spark inside the bowels
like woodfire

doves homeward in evening
while the long ship moans
its way ashore.
