To Eat the World
"so named because the limestone caused
rapid disentegration of the contents"
i.
The dwarf comes into it with secular
interests, in love with his child's
or small woman's foot, fetish soon
his system or sphere or all of it,
without end, the worm gear moving
ii
the round gear without end, for all
of it the dwarf as dumb as a dumb one,
a discovery startled by it as he carves
his sarcophagus out of the world,
eating love in a womb of limestone.
