leaves gather at the screen, wind brings the scent of a dead animal
as rain slithers, inscribing the electric breath of a bug lamp
whereunder they press together, breathing awful sounds … they were breathing awful sounds
though the tent, then out, warm steam pants
as rain slithers, inscribing the electric breath of a bug lamp
falling insects and subtler movements stir the darkness
though the tent then out, warm steam pants
a glowing carnal, stretching off the metal box like a huge yellow drop
falling insects and subtler movements stir the darkness
wherein shadows are thrown (for only the night is mono-single)
a glowing carnal, stretching off the metal box like a huge yellow drop
like fire off wood—SSSTST SOUND, TST SOUND, TST-TST SNAP, TST-TST SNAP
wherein shadows are thrown (for only the night is mono-single)
enacting the wet tongue movements of a stirring straw
like fire off wood—SSSTST SOUND, TST SOUND, TST-TST SNAP, TST-TST SNAP
they seem bigger than humans, b’just barely
enacting the wet tongue movements of a stirring straw
with eyes glistening like bubbles under tar
they seem bigger than humans, b’just barely
timid and prowling—the search climb of a snail’s antennae
with eyes glistening like bubbles under tar
she leaves a trail over selective parts
timid and prowling—the search climb of a snail’s antennae
pet down by teeth’s distractions then up to carnal yellow
she leaves a trail over selective parts
CAT HAIR, CAT HAIR, CATERPILLAR MOUTH, CATERPILLAR MOUTH
pet down by teeth’s distractions then up to carnal yellow
with lips over teeth, the way one mouths frozen ice cream

she is committed only to eating the male heads-first, when finished
with lips over teeth, the way one mouths frozen ice cream
in the hunger impulse of a praying mantis

as arms enscissor, backs arch, and she lowers herself onto the scummy grass
in the hunger impulse of a praying mantis
arms wedge though the shells, encoiling her segmented torso
as arms enscissor, backs arch, and she lowers herself onto the scummy grass
they are overcome by liquid suggestions, when entwined
arms wedge though the shells, encoiling her segmented torso
while their shadows collaborate as two-thirds a dying spider
they are overcome by liquid suggestions, when entwined
rendered between the hips or from the inside out
while their shadows collaborate as two-thirds a dying spider
resulting in a struggle to slither out of the yellow or escape backward through the dirt
rendered between the hips or from the inside out
the oozing fluids shellac their shells and spindly legs
resulting in a struggle to slither out of the yellow or escape backward through the dirt
in the way a worm twists up on a fishhook, her lips contort
the oozing fluids shellac their shells and spindly legs
drenching them in the bubbling throes of agony or ecstasy
in the way a worm twists up on a fishhook, her lips contort
like a ribbon in wind, twisting and yielding for more
drenching them in the bubbling throes of agony or ecstasy
CRIMSON, CRIMSON, CRIMSON MOUTH, CRIMSON MOUTH
like a ribbon in wind, twisting and yielding for more
she is not unlike the dancing grasshopper pinned to cardboard
CRIMSON, CRIMSON, CRIMSON MOUTH, CRIMSON MOUTH
the fright and wind should wake me, if this is a dream
she is not unlike the dancing grasshopper pinned to cardboard
wilting spreadeagle, her arms like flowers growing in darkness
the fright and wind should wake me, if this is a dream
leaves gather at the screen, wind brings the scent of a dead animal
wilting spreadeagle, her arms like flowers growing in darkness
whereunder they press together, breathing awful sounds… they were breathing awful sounds.
