Tandem ships sail to the regrettable cliff of breasts
whose deep clefts proceed to the chalk of the clit
ashes on the delta lift above the crystals of voice
never speaking never speaking to the noise of the blades
their trills a retort to the imaginary friends of Rameau
existing in a trickle of blissful water downslope
where the bowls of Christ are stuffed with mean old fat
that reasserts the need for nettle and copper coin in religion
Dominé Dominé then a late night surge from the Splenda
abuelas running through the sullen herd of the lawn sprinklers
red cellophane roses bud on a barbed wire fence
fireflies with prices on them trust the jealous dune climbers
but somebody kidnapped the Spongebob piñata at the flea market
after the zeitgeist refused to be born in the dark home of los muertos
rain falls, the garden whispers, pollen is shaped from maize kisses
grows courage in mother's daughters rolling warm rotis out of habit
their pride clarified by the sounds of words made on Sundays
when cattail tangles mingle with knotted black hair
