rash
noxious come claim now thy game
harsh
to become chained to cheating so become
quick
to speak
scarlet
speak sable speak kernel speak
say it
man how brazen thy purport to puncture corely the splash fabacea
the
chimpy shrub
the
coffee firebush
the
blackshelled conch and
the
calyx sky-knurl
bedstraw
of flint quartz
to take
then the second to come back to split with lip-axe spit analysis
the
symbol for beaks
for
instruments of copper
speech
are brackish roselle
and
the roselle tinged rose-peach
and
each to each now bail back to no climax
caterpillars
masticating man
his
mom
and
his dad
drizzled
from the stamen
to
a chunk of bark illumed
just
like that stretch of earth had been painted by a brush
dipped in
the night sky’s reddest looming
constellation
painted
bark
of our mangrove
red
gumbo limbo
dogwood
and
citharexylum
that
painted also
the
sunburnt strips of the gumbo limbo and
the
blazing mohawk of the chestnut woodpecker
caught
like a symbol
striking
at the bark
where
my head-feathers redden
Waiting
I perch in wait to take the fire
crystalline
to my patient
who
too coaxes
with
a figure constructed
by
my speech of scarlet speak sable speak and kernel speak
but
which wood is of this the patient’s?
bark
of clear speech of
scarlet
gumbo limbo
sable
gumbo limbo
kernel
of the gumbo limbo
and
of birds which to this patient belong?
woodpecker
of clear ontic of
scarlet
collision
sable
collision
kernel
of colliding bird-heads against the bark
libations
set upon the furnace
clear
liquid
my
stone scarlet
my
stone sable
my
kernel-stone furnace
into
which I throw your eye
the
steam becomes my speech
quick
to speak
scarlet
speak sable speak kernel speak
in
flint-quartz cast be you
scarlet
flint sable flint kernel flint
be
you cast into a clear conch
scarlet
conch sable conch kernel conch
be
thus lichen upon the firm heartwood
of
the dogwood its
scarlet
heartwood
sable
heartwood
kernel
heartwood
be
thus upon the furnace
clear
liquid
my
stone scarlet
my
stone sable
my
kernel-stone furnace
be
thus my acacia needle-bush
lift
thus frantic this fire
into
which I throw your eye and feed lunatic speech in-
to
your tooth tooth tooth
