Chien Rabique, Homme Courant
By Todd Coker

Pillars of Steel
Pillars of Lead
Icicles
Seafoam
Carlsbad

Rivers of red
Flow from their bed
Rivers clear
Flow to the ear

Straight lines
Streaked lines
Pickets
Pistons
Karate

River:
Taste, Lust
Rush, Roar

Pillars:
Burn, Bound,
Pound, Pump

Holes in Lead
Icicles fill
Rivers flood Carlsbad,
Karate can't kill

A Picket breaks the seal,
But Seafoam still
Rusts Steel

This is my most abstract poem. Try to figure this one out! Translating the
title would be a start, but even that can't help you too much. Email me if
you want a full explanation. ^_^
