The Paracelsus Clam

The Red Elephant's Dream

 
 
vague nation garnering
 
in pale, sensuous temples
 
mud & echoes
 
rude & idle stars
 
and the debutante
 
of young trees
 
who waits. Half-clouds
 
of the bride
 
craving sunlight
 
intimate crows
 
marvelous
 
collisions
 
of magic & capital
 
of smoke & flesh
 
over the graves like sky
 
bare (with shoulders
 
and long looks. The stones seem
 
to take
 
the hours
