With sound response upward
Looked at
From soul eyes and her
Pulse like bells
And long legs
And long legs
And cold uneven
Shoulders
Defended on by
The great receiver
But vulnerable
As a rule
For ritual
For alms
For forward calls
Of mediation
Of prayers
To OHM
Tracing lips backhanded
Hearing songs and on
With words
With words
Short pauses and
Long breaths
Undone
On ribbons
Of velvet all on
The tip of the blade
Mama’s chopping carrots
