Saint Astrophant

Tang astrophant of gloss fractures

woven-over nose sock for spigot

breakfast hoof hatches of robin egg

toe toward the spatial body system

orbit us

one spring at neck and an august jaw

circumnavigate us

this cellular holding echoes the image

echoes with mineral expanding planets and sonar soundings

we large as aluminum, Afghanistan, and poppy leg

forget us

what sees you per se is a society, the general we

at loggerheads broach the opaque circumference jewels

what we hear at days end is cologne over foul moss

a penny pile armor

return to us

we entreat you bring sun to man and his animal

so in tumbling entry streak a fire and down

the extinct dumbdom king and his corn chains

burn us - - Whoosh!
