A saint about to fallA
The stained flats of heaven hit and razedB
To the kissed kite hems of his shawlA
On the last street wave praisedB
The unwinding song by rockC
Of the woven wallA
Of his father's house in the sandsD
The vanishing of the musical ship work and the chucked bellsE
The wound down cough of the blood counting clockC
Behind a face of handsD
On the angelic etna of the last whirring featherlandsD
Wind heeled foot in the hole of a fireballA
Hymned his shrivelling flockC
On the last rick's tip by spilled wine wellsD
Sang heaven hungry and the quickF
Cut Christbread spitting vinegar and allA
The mazes of his praise and envious tongue were worked in flames and shellsD
-
Glory cracked like a fleaG
The sun leaved holy candlewoodsD
Drivelled down to one singeing treeG
With a stub of black budsD
The sweet fish gilled boats bringing bloodH
Lurched through a scuttled seaG
With a hold of leeches and strawsD
Heaven fell with his fall and one crocked bell beat the left airI
O wake in me in my house in the mudH
Of the crotch of the squawking shoresD
Flicked from the carbolic city puzzle in a bed of soresD
The scudding base of the familiar skyJ
The lofty roots of the cloudsD
From an odd room in a split house stareI
Milk in your mouth at the sour floodsD
That bury the sweet street slowly seeG
The skull of the earth is barbed with a war of burning brains and hairI
-
Strike in the time bomb townK
Raise the live rafters of the eardrumL
Throw your fear a parcel of stoneM
Through the dark asylumL
Lapped among herods wailN
As their blade marches inO
That the eyes are already murderedP
The stocked heart is forced and agony has another mouth to feedQ
O wake to see after a noble fallA
The old mud hatch again the horridH
Woe drip from the dishrag hands and the pressed sponge of the foreheadR
The breath draw back like a bolt through white oilS
And a stranger enter like ironT
Cry joy that hits witchlike midwife secondU
Bullies into rough seas you so gentleV
And makes with a flick of the thumb and sunW
A thundering bullring of your silent and girl circled islandU
