Shatters into a billion fragments

At the blaring jazz
Of a morning sun.”

as the half-ripe grain
that merges to gold again.

timeless and still.
The days and nights turn hours to years
and water in a gutter marks the circle of another world
hating, resentful, and afraid
stagnant, and green, and full of slimy things.”
