Fragment

Cold.

Cold upon cold.
Great-whalehead-highcloud, starkstartlewhite
Engorge a million suns blinding.

Gravity: canopy-fingertipped, dress-on-arms support snow
In duty, lean-screaming to air,
Guarding stillness from stillness.

Grey white-and-red graveyard. Hears:
Bootspadge, hale’n’hearty, two fellow the fog, where
Dappled coltblack, sandstone and alkaline globes
Piebald, earthborne to ether.
