In Ganymede
ruptured lungs are as nothing
where metals melt and run
as gold
in fractured spleens
Who loves the mad?
the dead
Planet swings into their dreams
In Ganymede
the gods reside in sockets
where caved seas quake
as lead
in brain tumors
Where do they dwell?
the sad
World spins on into rumour
In Ganymede
there can be no reward
the flesh the petals jewelled
bright birds
and firesnakes tread the cord
Here do we dwell
cyclops
with splintered wood to bind our words
We have reward enough.
