Larvae
Larvae
of ordinary
genius:
island
alone
dissolved in salt
The Cry of the Newborn
The cry of the newborn
from an ancestral
nothingness
bound
to the wall
of eternity
with the hair
of lost
centaurs
On the Hill
The thought
rolls
down the hill
sharp
waves
spit it out
from the aching
ground
This Sinuous Choir
This sinuous choir
darkens
my blue
hand
and
between
the fingers
I glimpse
the icy knots
of the ocean
In Another Place
Train rail
ferocious savior
mill wheel
of country lands and cement
speak to us
of the river of time
which you need
to conquer
the stone figure of Atlas
and run it over
with kisses
The shrunken human profile on the station’s clock
is suspended in air, held aloft on the shoulder of the cosmic egg
The train rail is born here and is nurtured by trees and squares
