the purpling River Manjees
and Tozzath watches from the bank,
the seat of his maroon pantaloons soaked with mud,
his nostrils flaring with the fragrance of ombadalias,
whose lacey petals flutter
like the wings of long-dead...

Blue reaches reflections

searching for
the star-seed
of my spirit that
has forsaken
it spiritual
sanguinary and
caged every
