Pitcher

Searchlight in the forest

Illuminates the figures

Of two missionaries

Hunting for the breath

Of the mountaintop

As the air gets thinner

They begin to notice

Pink-needled ferns

And mushrooms of a blue flesh

Hitherto unknown

At the plateau's nearing

They come upon a clearing

To interrupt the conference

Of long-hidden giants

Clad in dew

Perfume of a phantom

Curls into their nostrils

Bidding them ascend

The crimson-marbled ladder

To the lip of the plant

Fell into its water

They become the spires

Of a half-digested

Steeple of small rodents

Drowned in prayer

Tower of death

Tower of death

Tower of death

Tower of death (Tower of death)

Tower of death (Tower of death)

Tower of death (Tower of death)

Tower of death (Tower of death)

Tower of death (Tower of death)

Tower of death (Tower of death)

Tower of death (Tower of death)
