A taffy skull
under the charcoal chain of lights
long and spongy tongues
rolling over a wooden skyscraper's dock
stretched along the popcorn sand
prickling impaled skin.

Neon snakes on the wall
of a bleach-fed pool
water's cover of cabin-sized leaves
leaving limestone shadows
on a linoleum deck.

Thoughts for the swirling brush
the tail of a bone cage
spreading tapioca branches
feathers burning on hand cuffed bamboo
a coconut dripping letters
and electric fries.
