scrap of bright
spirit battered clean
comes clattering over waterfall
tense bodies shimmering below
descent turns into scar
water drained through quiet skin
rock opens rock
gashed landscape fills with moss
speech dulls thought

ruined sidewalks
lichened fingers
red leaf falling through grey world
hands turn into babies
nothing screams to hold

dick-sucking tree
wavers at cliff's edge
branches make nervous notation
between spores aglow

planetarium sky
shattered
curved glass raining broken dome
paradise's circuitry in fingernail
what was the body is a hurt nerve
twanging in an outstretched arm
Milky Way cancelled
solar sheep ambling
coats glowing with
raindrops of transparent sand
