white immensity of froth
raises hands in amazed paleness,
protects hybrid thing in geography from clay.
resounds in eclectic, frozen syllables
peculiar singing through sit-in re-lives,
to right hand the silhouette beats in blood
alcohol, barley have spoken to memory.
poetical furious presence cutting pulse
left hand straight ahead in domes of thorn,
dry of cold, dry of wind, dry without time
clay protects night in darkness.
Behind litany of city hides
bodies of night, backs to sleep
in sap of thoughts.
Behind rises, in firs and pines
look of lettering, handkerchief of heaps,
behind dry intestines, the mute thorn
hollow orbits watching city of height.
