                            half bred upon mountain

                                         the

                                hawk walk is wound

                                    by scree

 

                       bottle fed from beak

                    lure of feathers

                           wide wingspan gate

                                     bracken deep

 

                             red flame proof carpet

 

                                    shreds a night world

 

                         the market place pedigree

 

                               grand dragon

                                     leaving the time

                        scale & file

                               rank

                  along car tail beam

                                     o

                                 watts

                               of breath

                       head above city

            spreading broken glass

                                     roar moat

 

                       we slide down peat bunker

 

                                         &

 

                                your hands

 

                           being open

 

                              enter lamb

 

                      hot spring

 

                           smell

 

               dual blade grass
