Not from this anger, anticlimax after / Refusal struck her loin and the lame flower / Bent like a beast to lap the singular floods / In a land strapped by hunger

Shall she receive a bellyful of weeds / And bear those tendril hands I touch across / The agonized, two seas.

Behind my head a square of sky sags over / The circular smile tossed from lover to lover

And the golden ball spins out of the skies; / Not from this anger after / Refusal struck like a bell under water / Shall her smile breed that mouth, behind the mirror, / That burns along my eyes.
