Naked Eloquence [from Naked Eloquence]

      An icosoles triangle 
      constructed by chance
      as when the world falls 
      together on the bed,
5     or some comet constellation
      in mercuric increments descends
      a star hat down
      on some heightened head.
      Shards of naked eloquence,
10    permanent aquantaince in a glance,
      how many years of staring at life
      had ocean-sanded to a soul?
      Shapes of light and greatness
      confound the eye to quietness
15    and all the rest as well, unless
      confessing naked eloquence
      and stretched to a howl
      over petulant rocks
      in the barbarous tasseling of dawn
20    I stand with my back 
      to the midnight clocks
      and drop my cock to the caustic waters,
      my soul to spawn.
