A cleft in the hills
where the skin listens
sky scrubbed grass fades
brown to gently seething swamp

foil of fallen buildings
question marks on mud
nails from evaporated boards
like slugs on brick
a sanctuary pit
where dying organs
form a choir
and resolve in tortured avatar

strings resurrect
the bones of my teeth
a serpent series glistens
the tank full of torches
burns with sweetest oil.
