Elms hanging upside down in a thick fog
gum suit snapping on a warped skeleton
blood singing upward to the dark veined cloth of sky
barns with branches and corners with mouths and tongues
a pouring lava's alphabet scum
spines tied to a ring of heat
in a tooth floss chamber

wakeful birds on liquefied stone
gardens frozen to the tick tock morning
feathers packed in dimes
a pipeline of blown open eyes
fiend's rope of spit
an elevator of smoke
meat cradle in torn hair
sowing empty lungs.
