wheel spinning over the land
wheel outside of the mind, in the air
oil running through streambeds
oil overflowing the graveyard
Catherine on fire, Catherine a ghost
with myrrh pouring from her hands
drink or do not drink, lifted
to the lips or anointing the forehead
in a shower of sparks, looking
for a tree, looking for a burial place
for the body, grave, gallows
bones hinging open, stars inside
flaming and then only seen
in the shape of their breaking
