crow feather filled with glue and sharp taste a drop thick on the tongue milk white leaf sap cream of mushroom soup & chunk of soil moist wad in my cheek tooth caps pop off flat bone chip keelbone of a bird broken wet feathers tendon pork on rice strings stretched bloody black fly body vibrates too fast greasy wing tip of green blue flashing paper hologram flypaper eyes stick to everything too much can't touch anything but light painful under the skin one inch deep overlapping scales pushed out in front of the bathroom mirror clumps of red cells plates of luminous zinc blood sandwiches what is beauty layer of glitter layer of pus cold fat at the edges bacon and toast crumbs for the ants crunch underfoot thousands of bodies whispering together flattened everything pushed out yellow guts sap & spit a line of scent we follow nose to the stem of a sunflower sneeze in my mouth centipede teeth wriggling black flow line of drool sip at the darkness because I can't eat apples down down down a plumb line to the poles no skin left to feel the sun but diamonds scattered everywhere
