Crosses of grain

In the days of the crosses,

green wheat

flowed through the city
instead of rivers.

Green wheat,

cane-wheat,

and so the nude

clouds of children

flocked to the river,

fishing for wheat

with their wringing palms.
But the grain slipped

through their fingers,

and the only thing
their eye sockets saw

were skulls

connected by wires.
The children gawked

to the curvature of the sun,

and their eyelids
tumbled

towards the other side,

and what did they see

but tanks
in a warm scone

feeding their dark phalluses

with seeds.
