He looked at her watch
He looked at her watch
And saw time grow

It grew out of her watch
It grew out of her
Woman grew out of watch

Out of the engine room
Onto canvas, fluidity
Of light and dark rainy

Brush of April, bush
And the red lips, fool's dream
Her shameless unearthliness

Tomorrow-eyes. I want.

Is that what she says?
Roots removed, Egypt,
Today’s newspaper falling

Flakes on his stomach
Like flakes as she eats
