    Oneiric reversal

    I implore the raven of dust to drop his signet, water-drawn, fury’s flower, dawn’s bucket, that reconnoiters the winding terrace to the absolute tuber.

    The Night in her golden lancet sings over the skyscraper I hunt, my doorway adrift to the heat the child’s mind leaps.

    A room of spiked faces replaced by the shredded lake-at-arms where she walks the street of floating sparks… and I, medused… What sleeps away returns an entrance kicked back by the shadow opening the great flower of Night…

    Sun-down

    the evening side up

    black lipstick and corolla of thirst

    all the children are necrophiles at bay

    The river, peeling dust, salutes this walking prey: cobbled limestone of a glance more dangerous than clover’s sighing foot.

    The road to the pit in the sky: to see a dog typing into a cat’s liver.  No breakfast for the flying spider.  The dream of a labyrinth is the shark’s love for humanity leaning to the unknown the geometric wave’s scorpion biting on a window pane of sodomized glass.

    Philip Lamantia
