Venus is incubating intelligent microbes.
The pink rises from the purple
and the purple black.
Fur dancing on bones
an immaterial plane.

Skin washed and faded
for a mind in the clouds.
Pliable tins of mercury
slim spires of rock.
Puddles that spread for miles
of a mineral that paints in numbers.

Vegetating near the cave core
bearded stalactite
with a belly of eyes
scanning the seething millenia
reflected in butter
watching the machines teething.
