from Endemic Gospels

He wonders: I turn off? wearing
stockings & high heels or crampons
depending, late-night all twenty
hours long am I powered up to an
Atlantic’s cup, continental warp
& waft, how many watts will young
bones yield under tremendous
pressure? building a table on river-
bed, a bucket of food to keep
from death, wives a life long kept
away, he misses them, tundra to east
westing his name, rising, he beds.
