The vines that sing
and the vines that claw

long ropes of baked rock
far between them
shimmering in waves
of relentless light.

The creak of a moving drawbridge
exploding with butterflies and flowers
above the water that speaks
above the water that knows all names
and fills up mysterious basins
far down beyond
the reaching and raging thorns.
