LAKE MUNGO 3

for all artistic philosophical religious
purposes
i am covered in red ochre
my hands interlocked
positioned over
the penis
i lie in bed
all day
with my cremated
woman Lady Mungo
i am soothe
denude
in thinness
which only
i know and cover
occasionally men
in white lab coats field tripping
gnaw at me
but my premises are patrolled
by centuries and revision
my ribs
launch
a tentative boat
cradling
human rivers and seas
