(song for children blowing out termites from holes)

(i)

Blow, blow. Blow out
wind from a volcano's mouth.
Blow out storm
from a deep hole,

everything, every scale
creeping up. Creeping.
up with glass wings
not steered to fly high.

Breathe, breathe.
Breathe out silver from
bowels of the earth,
a simmering hearth poaching
dove and porpoise wings.

Sizzling coin and fossil feathers
to creep with grease bodies
wheeling them out
of the throat, a deep hole

sinking deep into a dropping
wind's tail sinking
into a tube planted, a green stem,

to grow out of homes
