as filaments, i

imagine you a body

without skin, fibrous of


the sablefrail taints 

of diminishment,

and am flooded like


blue holes in headlights

like a caustic slurry

of saffron nebulae


methaning titan's

anaerobic dream.

it goes like this:


infantwine sinews like snottites in exoskull

mine chestubes via graphene webskins,

warmthundering, congealments,

in the offlowers of sorrowrote;


or, pleasetouchme-like, denthoughts

negative the blind armor of shamescape

into tepidreadings of inksours hurtscore:

this hot vents/cold seeps/polychaete worms/everything.
