stalk the ankles
in the feast and death of the earth,
man of war
treetop ghost;
the moon shines
onto your bones
drinking the falling
of every fury
and kingdoms of blood
into the ghost egg
to root a shape like a python eye
while fingers lie
in the comets,
where to find
a universe
for all who drowned.
