this is no place this is no planet
placed here
on dis/play
motors tampered
heart machines our bodies
ovulating
we are not stone. statues talk to each other
about moss rain lightning
we speak
to no-one nothing
is true. sounds, guttered
in throat, chews of meat
strangled sound
TO BURN THE PLACE DOWN. sky
ON FIRE
as body twists and yelps singeing
hair & birds as explanation
of strange. yours
saliverating raving no place
the apocalypse remains we are unconvinced
puddles leap for the eyes and throat
underwater
seahorses eat their tails and hands
mark the stations of the body
the places where kisses remain
solid
as the words and gristle in your seaweed throat
the year is a tamed rumour
of place a postcard on the
peeling wall
neptune seen from space
