Half of the fellow father as he doubles | B |
His sea sucked Adam in the hollow hulk | C |
Half of the fellow mother as she dabbles | B |
To morrow's diver in her horny milk | D |
Bisected shadows on the thunder's bone | E |
Bolt for the salt unborn | F |
- | |
The fellow half was frozen as it bubbled | G |
Corrosive spring out of the iceberg's crop | H |
The fellow seed and shadow as it babbled | G |
The swing of milk was tufted in the pap | I |
For half of love was planted in the lost | J |
And the unplanted ghost | K |
- | |
The broken halves are fellowed in a cripple | L |
The crutch that marrow taps upon their sleep | M |
Limp in the street of sea among the rabble | L |
Of tide tongued heads and bladders in the deep | M |
And stake the sleepers in the savage grave | N |
That the vampire laugh | O |
- | |
The patchwork halves were cloven as they scudded | K |
The wild pigs' wood and slime upon the trees | P |
Sucking the dark kissed on the cyanide | K |
And loosed the braiding adders from their hairs | Q |
Rotating halves are horning as they drill | R |
The arterial angel | L |
- | |
What colour is glory death's feather tremble | L |
The halves that pierce the pin's point in the air | S |
And prick the thumb stained heaven through the thimble | L |
The ghost is dumb that stammered in the straw | T |
The ghost that hatched his havoc as he flew | U |
Blinds their cloud tracking eye | A |

My world is pyramid The padded mummer | T |
Weeps on the desert ochre and the salt | K |
Incising summer | T |
My Egypt's armour buckling in its sheet | K |
I scrape through resin to a starry bone | E |
And a blood parhelion | E |
- | |
My world is cypress and an English valley | V |
I piece my flesh that rattled on the yards | W |
Red in an Austrian volley | V |
I hear through dead men's drums the riddled lads | X |
Screwing their bowels from a hill of bones | Y |
Cry Eloi to the guns | Z |
- | |
My grave is watered by the crossing Jordan | E |
The Arctic scut and basin of the South | A2 |
Drip on my dead house garden | E |
Who seek me landward marking in my mouth | A2 |
The straws of Asia lose me as I turn | E |
Through the Atlantic corn | E |
- | |
The fellow halves that cloven as they swivel | L |
On casting tides are tangled in the shells | B2 |
Bearding the unborn devil | L |
Bleed from my burning fork and smell my heels | C2 |
The tongue's of heaven gossip as I glide | K |
Binding my angel's hood | K |
- | |
Who blows death's feather What glory is colour | T |
I blow the stammel feather in the vein | E |
The loin is glory in a working pallor | T |
My clay unsuckled and my salt unborn | E |
The secret child I sift about the sea | V |
Dry in the half tracked thigh | A |
