make any sound
hiss or bubble
like brick in the hearth
like it was a habit
tell them all about
the mountain
the musical instrument
played with the nose
how we press our noses
to the stone
once for humans
twice for dogs
or is it twice for humans?
chisel out
a cave for us
to sleep in
using your hands
and no recitations
no rites belched out
no arts is there
a word for that?
a stream disappears
underground
then hatches
from the trunks of trees
the yellow quivers
of the kÅwhai
