I Sit On My Hands

I sit on my hands
watching the morning
unfold onto a white screen,
the night reel packed away,
animals, murderous hyena's.

On the right I can clearly
see dark, sturdy arms
of trees, the slim moustaches
of the deft bushes, carrying
their bridal flowers,

lace kisses dancing in a
summer-field stretching far
into a wheeling, slow dusk,
evening and pearls of lamps,
eyes going under.
