a quiver of eyes

egg yolks splatter skillet
one after the other
bottled babies
moon-eyed
shells
still
sticky skin
membranes Dali
drip thick clear jelly
Daffy Duck & alpha wave
no Hunkpapa heat no river no
buffalo dung no smoke or crunching
snow deer hooves snuffle pelt tight shelter
a knob turn blues the circles on black steel sun
wheel clicking a flower fire & what order of static
says A says B says one two three salt & pepper
plate & tea cup poached easy over hashed
the glassy morning serves up a man in
a white rubbery suit no genitalia
fingers long twigs tipped with
octopus suckers hairless fish
thing reading the news
ink streaming off
spreading across
the checkerboard
cloth of the kitchen
table onto the parquet
floor covers the kiddies
a clown doll mewling cat
the TV set scaling thru walls
a slow lace slime mold frosting
ceilings & cellar doors bay windows
the wetness of the world shivers awake
muons gluons mesons vain imps of matter
claim no memory of monsters of Armageddon
motion eats motion a tap tapping tapped the man
washes the dishes wipes his hands with a ghostly rag
loneliness keeping the company of plowed fields
she turns off the computer imagining a moan
surging surf song of a moving mountain
