every bed in spite of great trees
watering thirsty mules

everything about us and what

awaiting us, what was working
at all omniscience the rhythms of
prime command life shapes
going on in the universe
here for us to see
done by no saints
on the hill of vision

“Just restored the home
of men with ashes, liniment dream,”
from saturated horse
the first time in his thunder

burned and scraped until I
tell you thickness remains.
