Fountains Of Aix

Beards of  water                       some of them have.         Others are blowing whistles of  water.         Faces astonished that constant  water                   jumps from their mouths.                   Jaws of lions are snarling  water through green teeth over chins of moss.                               Dolphins toss jets of  water                                     from open snouts                               to an upper theater of  water.                     Children are riding swans and  water       coils from the S-shaped necks and spills                         in flat foils from pincered bills.                             A solemn curly-headed bull                             puts out a swollen tongue of  water.                                 Cupids naked are making  water                               into a font that never is full.                   A goddess is driving a chariot through  water.                         Her reins and whips are tight white  water.                         Bronze hoofs of horses wrangle with  water.                               Marble faces half hidden in leaves.                         Faces whose hair is leaves and grapes                         of stone are peering from living leaves.                                       Faces with mossy lips unlocked                                                               always uttering  water,                                                                                           water                                                 wearing their features blank                                             their ears deaf, their eyes mad                                           or patient or blind or astonished at  water                                           always uttered out of their mouths.
