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.
