Ariel

Stasis in darkness.

Then the substanceless blue
Pour of tor and distances.


God's lioness,
How one we grow,
Pivot of heels and knees! ---The furrow

Splits and passes, sister to
The brown arc
Of the neck I cannot catch,

Nigger-eye
Berries cast dark
Hooks ---

Black sweet blood mouthfuls,
Shadows.

Something else

Hauls me through air ---
Thighs, hair;
Flakes from my heels.


White
Godiva, I unpeel ---
Dead hands, dead stringencies.


And now I
Foam to wheat, a glitter of seas.

The child's cry

Melts in the wall.

And I
Am the arrow,

The dew that flies,
Suicidal, at one with the drive
Into the red

Eye, the cauldron of morning.
