more bread & the breaking
of intention. the surety
that tents are moveable &
the people durably made:
intertextual, textile, tactile

grain for grinding or ground grain

the old brother of
the builder shows me
wordlessly the works,
the wheel trudged by
slow water and worried
stone. brother with no
longer hands for work
but carpal wings, will
take to the roof after
selling some jam of
grist to the Ameriki

pills & water

the head grinding arc
pressure to maintain
smooth stones, the
green ache, a shaft
of pain, a window
a gut, a lark
agape

God the question asks
does program, or initial
hurl, or puppeteers, or
snores in the prompt box.
Does God underground. Yank
own levers. Look back at

earthworks

escapement under the shell of the
earth, the moving gears and wheels
we are held up by brass the
thin rods puppeting the animal heads
to graze and raise up, the wave of
the farmer, the cardboard clouds
the accumulation of dust, animatronic
fates assembling spiders
