What is the head

a. Ash

What are the eyes

a. The wells have fallen in and have

Inhabitants

What are the feet

a. Thumbs left after the auction

No what are the feet

a. Under them the impossible road is moving

Down which the broken necked mice push

Balls of blood with their noses

What is the tongue

a. The black coat that fell off the wall

With sleeves trying to say something

What are the hands

a. Paid

No what are the hands

a. Climbing back down the museum wall

To their ancestors the extinct shrews that will

Have left a message

What is the silence

a. As though it had a right to more

Who are the compatriots

a. They make the stars of bone
