Emptying

scatters the fragile cohesion, a spectre
looms on the wrinkled face of an old tree,

the bee-eaters have flown away ;
annual rings on wooden panels were defying the age
of smile on the mouth of bright doors

petitioning to the naked beams of body;
infusion of totality for antimutagens
of nude spiders weaving a lethal design:

the tender fall of deathless night on
forgetfull ; I am ready to reach the bottom
of fear, bring out the poison for celebration,

unveiling the apes of tomorrow on the 
black prints of dragonflies stumbling out
from golden words
