Through the conduits of blood
my body in your body
  spring of night
my tongue of sun in your forest
  your body a kneading trough
I red wheat
  Through conduits of bone
I night I water
  I forest that moves forward
I tongue
  I body
  I sun-bone
Through the conduits of night
  spring of bodies
You night of wheat
  you forest in the sun
you waiting water
  you kneading trough of bones
Through the conduits of sun
  my night in your night
my sun in your sun
  my wheat in your kneading trough
your forest in my tongue
  Through the conduits of the body
water in the night
  your body in my body
Spring of bones
  Spring of suns
