boiling, over the west past all control
rolling and swamps the heartbeat and repeats
sea beyond sea after unbearable suns;
think: poems fixed this landscape: Blake, Donne, Keats.”

“I am walking over hot coals suspended over a deep pit at the bottom of which are a large number of vipers baring their fangs.”
