solid gold your face

old man carruthers steered the ship
to freedom

we were torn between making cakes
in djibouti and drowning in
a pile of sand

on the horizon jesus came out
of a cloud of bricks

our bandages were covered in lymph
and we couldn't see through the
haze of skin

with one final yelp of captain the
ship was lost in a whirlpool made
of mealy doughnuts

emblazoned on the horizon a solid
gold your face
