ANIMAL TERRITORY
What Snaketongue
needs to tell -
Man and woman
copulating
slow and easy
at the ant hill
Red salamanders
vomiting
strange blue
creeping alphabets
Eagles surfing
backwards
on radiant waves
Razorblades zig-
zagging
at the sunset
into the nothing
D-R-U-M-M-I-N-G
Quicksilverwoman
play joujouka
bells ring
all night
inside them
Whidah-birds
drum
talking-trees
in deep woods
Medusamen swim
in fertile waters
fishlike
through the images
of distant clouds
TANGLEFOOT CHILD
Newborn talks
like the ancients
flayfluttering

four-footed

happy hunchback
language
slang of bulbuls

EYE
What could I say?
Piano is out of tune
I can recall the parrots
with their necklaces
of shining dust
I can recall
the changing
of hearts
every heartbeat
a perfect signature
of its own
What could I say?
These chrystalnights
are over, the
black pearl
is sleeping

themselves
Do not kill
yourself
