(Untitled I)
While we were down here
Carving that…clay bank with
Digitized knives
While the piled land stems out
From its own heavenly.
And ubiquitous as small tap stones
In breathing statutory moonlight
I climbed the rope—the unfrayed one
To the top of six
Billowing white sails.
If I rear my mind, will you?
The land doesn’t roll out—
It starts its figuring.
And metallic, it twitches
Hot whips of light, through a barred window
Twenty sleeps and forty lids
Still the wracking morning.
