The knotted branch unraveling
the strings of the egg
a leaf's tip tapping swirling water
gun shots of the tree pod's
cracking shells.

Rushing lanes that swallow
a folded cell
the glass face of twitching time's
battery acid.

Graphs of twine overlapping
on a sheer cliff of pentagon
wired bulbs.

Metallic skirts of frozen matter
flickering between
planetary ruins.

Rings of crushed wheat
and silver ships
dragging a corroded halo.

Hanging tags
from the mouth that pours
fanged symmetry
of wet tongues.
A thread that hums
above the twanging speaker
vegetable mineral light.
