Crass Cold Leaf

to sleep under heaven as the caliph of all days
is the lie told white as foam by the ocean
of its spray

glass slabs hover and dreaming bodies link them
causing the whole chain to ascend

dreaming bodies bend
arcing
slow motion convulsed
by space's cousin
the species

specious
suscept
aspect

deliverable

through conduits of ocean foam
cylinders of hovering froth
the great caliph of days must swim
his hands cupping swimmers
a mask of milk
for a face of clouds

suspect
defining
order
