Wagons of steel on the fleshy spine path
bone chains chugging through erupted soil
the melted underground vessel
a fist of sand with ringed fingers
surviving cloudy hooks.

Hilltops in kaleidoscope's crescendo
a rain of fractured light
chipping away at bright rocks
the slime of slender foliage.
Amphibians hopping around
through dusty gloves
the prodded ground shat up
bronze bubbles of green throats
the song of the honking dark.

Thuds from a levitated pool
the shark in bikini shorts
cleaning his vein-specked teeth
with radiant newspaper.
