Plumes of ejecting flesh
gunning cells through punched-up walls
space fissures through paint cans and frosted planks
leaving little welts inside the elbows
canyons digging ditches where they break off
the creases of roofs and living rooms
water scattered by mountaintop rocks
knife-slit leaves and arrow nicked bark
a hole-punched vision of the self
wrapped in dripping posters
glinting tinsel soul,
hand's five enemies in twilight
lifting perfect squares
through the deep floor's chalk
of meteor-printed lakes,
maps broken by stone moss
the wigs and underwear of puppets
strewn across bubbling kitchen counters
reflective hallways to electric throat
keys pulsing like a frog
yeast wincing and gambling
the silver of a bronze departure
stamped into his sandal coils.
