there was only the seed bursting the head followed
home from the singing the gigantic gull planet the
water inside her she sang all night to her earth–
husband and lover fell by the way as the heron re-
righted myself and was lifted out of control suck–
ing the stone-god's message from the dark flower 0
holy the rose the violet singing their messages the
eyes flash them back through the cries of the peb-
bles 0 bless me with knowing 0 bless me with knowing
the jar followed the colours unspooling wrote and re-
wrote the messages whirling out of the ether the bride
moved over her country the God-music out of Johann
Sebastain moving the lizard so at last he knew
The bells came back from the sea the winter flashed
down with the bells under the illness the ship moved
the chalk-milk managed a victim again so the poet
called down for pads for his fingers for hair for his
head bulged with the beauty of absolute love
