The New World Requires

the new world requires smooth elephants
hirsuit elephants go back into the earth

your eyes abhor an emptiness
people a desert with figures

the new world requires hirsuit elephants
smooth elephants go back into the earth

arms severed long ago reach out
to you the phantom hand of peace

the new world requires smooth elephants
hirsuit elephants go back into the earth

rain is blood, sweat or what you will
when you have never known it fall

the new world requires hirsuit elephants
smooth elephants go back into the earth

up to your mirror your martian swims
two moons rise, go round and round again

Again, fascinating, very original. Had you been smoking something? Not a criticism - just that the language is so particular. Jennifer
