trimurti
-------------------------------

foot on throne:

this fist of heart
hides in the hollow
of its hold:

rabbit
string
two veils

magic or slighted
palm - a torn scarf
of chest with red footprints
hop-hopping away

knot in utero, a circlet
of vein dangles about neck.
hang the hunted?
father! cut the -

a world
swallows
the chair

bird in hand:

the beat of breath
wavers where a wire
is virus in the tree:

three parts untamed
sparrow
two ravenous
of one limp wing

the notes squeeze
through bars of rib
prying at the clef

to be heard. a shriek
peers into the world
two fresh sockets
emptied of sight
then song

to be free

unholy corpus:

a murmur wedged
in the bodies
of fire and fish:

pale wave
unjust tempest
phoenix

of wrinkled flesh, shifting
shore of bone: gnawed
hook in jaw

a storm is strong
without a guide

smoldering, a sailor
sings; a man sinking
noose in hand

into the black
belly, drifting

a crooked grin.
