what was the moment of coition likeA
come Zariba let down your gatesB
turn turtle all you captives of the fleshC
-
square sunsD
walled in by darkness from the cryptE
young bodies stripped to make a mock of timeF
toy beauty dipped in feral wineG
-
bones buried in the WoodH
bones buried in the gold of SunI
bones buried in the very gates of WarJ
great searching of the gatesB
-
impatient earthquakeK
shuffles all the packL
redeals the reds the golds the blacksM
-
birdlike and blackenedN
secret as a doorJ
sharp knives to stallionI
through a forest floorJ
great searching of the gatesB
floodgatesB
-
the day is doneI
and I can feel the pebblesO
in my handP
crumble and crumbleQ
to a beach of sandP
whereon you walkR
-
yet do they prance inS
circumcision round the poleT
stride over mountain TopsU
gurgle the rising TideV
-
and if a slender boatW
should anchor near the SunI
would mad queens madly runI
girdles undoneI
or would they comeX
black scaffolds to the SunI
