Tower of Thrust

                                          Upon your white unblemished thigh
                                          O stained with rocket fire sky
                                          A wound erupts at evening shine
                                          Orange as Christmas clementine.

                                          Patience climbs the tower of thrust.
                                          His foot dislodges flakes of rust
                                          That shimmer to the ground and sigh
                                          “The window of the launch is nigh—

                                          “Open your casements, rain soft fruit
                                          Upon our undeserving suit,
                                          Star fruit, according to the seasons,
                                          Absent motives, absent reasons.”
