Rip my lungs out of the valley
ornament my bones
on the gleam of a fortress wall
let the monolith of lives
rise from between my spent ribs
and radiated eyes

make castles of coiled rope
go up upon my organ piles pale
sky opened like a fridge door
sun's jawbone of a shark outline
corpse water halfway up
my fading form

I'll walk
the glass cracked labyrinth walls
from the top down with peacock staircases
and watch the lilacs
run.
