the cap
of the acorn
empty of seed
the bowl of the hills
where the doe lies down
two hands cupped
for a trickle of water
naked
the face of rain-
hollowed granite
the orioles’ nest
windblown
vessel of eggs
the rachis of feathers
the hollow of bone
jack-in-the-pulpit
his sermon
the spathe
of the arum
empty of words
chambers
of nautilus
caverns at sea
auricle ventricle
salt pools of the heart
the house of the skull
its cellars of memory
the eye
in its orbit
this chalice of light
