He has coffee in his blood, He dances with brown camels. White wide paths of knives Are curved deep among the mountain passes Of ribs wrapped in soft desert of skin.
A tongue athlet and a sound alchemist, A reluctant nomad with wheat hair, Who's driven by his crazy-grooving heart So rarely though so far.
Sometimes a train, sometimes a net, Sometimes a piece of paper Will take him. But most often he is joining with genies In their bottles. And spirits take him To the caves, the deep blood-vessels.
He's silent mostly and his back is bent Though he is tall. He walks all cloaked in weary clothes And idle anger both. As it dictates him his prideful eagle's nose.
He bears also marks of roots, Of runes, of flame, of anchors, Dancers. His bones look at you in their clutches From beneath the skin Of his thin fingers.
He builds the towers shaky, Weak. And so, they're almost living, Breathing. He've found a cat in a banana And lets it live inside his elbow.
The grey in northern sky is his. He reached his fine hands And left it there. He touched the sun And then again. He put it in his lighter With his fingertips. So he occasionally has a light from the sun.
He prays to metal and walks two roads at once. He tolls the tree from which he hails. He hangs from a branch. Or does he just stand Downwords and his back is lying on The branch on which he stands?
He buried his gold and digs it out only For fire and jokes, for bitter and smoke. A cow of three eyes and a bee on his blazen Are joing in drawing.
