The Hermit of Palace

Upbeat-the brutal moon,
possessed of my love, makes the water
blue. We are drinking light.

A white horse jumps
into fire. This is insanity. A revenge of
tall fig trees to discover non-violence.

The colossus sleeps, afraid
of red ants. A black pain creeps into the
milk of feeding mothers. Son was not sun.
