And thick
Bulbous lashes
Burning green
On my cheek-bones.

5

My stone mouth

Is stretched with song
From east to west.

6

Legs

And hoofs
Kicked skyward
And
The claw
On my hairy paw
Blazes.

Gorged

And motionless,
Like a bull,
I have squatted, rock-fast,
In a long shirt
Of sunsets,
And I sit now
Sprawled out
On the fat hill of the universe.
