towers tremble on plains of tar
the slime of life climbs labyrinth foundations
fangs of light erect from temple gates
and gobble sleeping walkers
grates scrawled with graffiti
crashing down on rubber bones.
The tongue feeler
erupted from some intestinal miracle
protrudes from gray lactating rubble
scrambling thick air
with its fingering fright
fills crumpled lungs with bamboo butter
looking for the suns that won't ascend.
