May-flies 

        winged like a hospital

                circulate the lintel grass

Pewter earth

       cascades in ripples

                down the pews of hills

The valleys lips parted

        water seeping 

                from them like myth / spit / language

I median her stomach

         like any other 

                 permed daughter

my face sieved 

        repeats itself 

                in autotune

Wherever the valley sponges

         I am safe 

                away from my pulped - 

and tinctured flesh, 

        my damp-eyed self   

Bulrush spoked between     

        the pleats of my forehead

                like fur
