Summerseed clay

Bury the flanks
in summerseed clay
glisten the glimmer
in gullytweed grey

topple all phantoms
alone on the dock
simmer stilt-patients
on grey roasted rocks

hook on the line
a cloaked thimble dew
mast tie dead time
scavange rot the pew

weld shut the tempest,
tear duct and drone
palace the priestess
in a cotton sheath dome

burn stale october
whiplash the moon
file down the sickle
take in the fumes

rinse all the fires
spellbind the day
wake as you're dreaming
to summerseed clay.
