Barbed wire horizons
heat buffeting the crawling shells
the elegance of frozen sand
molten glass pouring from a saucy mouth
arabesque of spray painted trash cans
linked by adhesive blood
at the palace door's crooked eye
a moat of chains and fiber optic handles
volcano's plastic rim
spilling teeth and letters.

A sanctuary platform's rounded corners
running with slime of punctured lungs
the belching of delayed infancies
a towering cotton sword
descending twilight glue
and small meatballs
thumb's radiant corpse
dragging from the engine switch
blue words and ephemeral bones
a cutaway basement's
transparent slug.
