I gather these little tendrils
into a structured storm
with many wide knots
many centers of gravity
pulsing with devilish eyes

and place a throne of red velvet
for you to sit in the strummed valleys
of my monumental web

these vacant headlights
are implanted in the caverns of my chest
beaming to nowhere
and I can't get down from the heights
of a mountain lion's diet
to sit at the tea table

sharing fables with basic bitches
small volleys for the foam of the new
gestating in the end of time
like a mouth of ultraviolet
like a seeded wound
like a tongue lashing to somewhere
chartless and abandoned
this tender vein
in a maze of movable steel

vast as a twilight moon
for accelerated earth
oceans rasping in her girdle
for a thousand robot butlers
setting chairs on the ceiling
one final word.
