Hymns

frost wives sleep on the wings of butterflies
                               snowflakes. cool fingers touch my dream's edge

                                  my dream nettles fades in a wombat pouch
                                  I suck milk with my brothers in marsupium

                             they play my milk-mothers tweak eyes amorous
                              on the yellow ruins of cold sinful emerald earth

                             world lies deep the ocean frothing at the mouth
                            blissful mermaids naked flutter eyelashes iris green

                             skins melt like butter down the wall of buckwheat
                           drip by drip trickle into the cave of its triangular seeds
