Black Brick

Imagining curving letters

In a languid psalm

In abstract time

Full levity rolling through

Intangible phantom mystery

And the furnace of gentle dreams

A caustic womb

Champagne light

After the sacred deep blue

Majesty of dawn

Naked

And cordial

And virgin

Majesty of dawn

Naked

And cordial

And virgin

Patience and poise

Twin ribbons bare

And make vivid

A dark shallow vein

Patience and poise

Twin ribbons bare

And make vivid

A dark shallow vein

Disguise and shame

Of all light downward

A gaunt fashion

Pulled tightly over peaking bone

A gaunt fashion

Pulled tightly over peaking bone

A small scene from in the smoking censer

A heart, a heart, a heart

The pulse of rotten roots

Twining through soil

Feasting on droplets

Rest come again

Come again

Rest crack puzzled

So urgent, wild

Rest crack puzzled

So urgent, wild, violent

Freedom flutters down

The drain again

One eye wide to the braille

Of fireflies

I tunnel brutishly

Pig headed

And full of steam

Full of steam

I tunnel brutishly

Pig headed

And full of steam

Into the damp comfort

Of this lonely trench

Of this trench

Of this trench

Of this trench

Of this trench
