Under a small sky

enclosed by valley walls

like a painted dome

in a temple

 

I made a Beast of bones

Found where the ocean grinds its teeth

(the round rattling stones)

Bones cleaned by the fast black spiders

Bones with flight still in them

(horizon and the setting sun)

I joined the bones with stolen copper

Tendon ligament and nerve of wire

Bitter soft and red

I made eyes from tears

Teeth and claws from words

Sharp and strong enough

We wander together

Eating what it catches

At night it watches

With liquid eyes

While I sing

Again gently.

 

 

love, andrew
