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
