Slashed rubber gasping
in the tight flanks of trees
strings dangling from bent teeth
clay bodies' landscape of amps
pouring concrete canals
walls of water with
swimming snakes of paint
rushing newspaper shores
crushing ecstatic stalks
diagonal branches
slithering grey air
cracking blue eggs
against punctured nests
a mouth at the tip of a tongue
with a tongue of its own
dabbing from the eyes
spray painted in napalm
rolling red carpets
to the shattered moon
sleds of carved-out salt
riding velvet lightning
through the rings of gas giants
to an ocean heart
cloth tapestry of jaw bone hinges unfurled
star's path in a web of steam
piercing compost heaps.
