Incorporeal stripes
An arctiid fever dream
Crawling damp from hematite tombs,
to fiend on invisible ragwort
waving down from the nightmarish looms.
A tiger reposed on the precipice
poised to crush internecine writs—
To feast, pyrrolizidine progeny
on decaying, fermented leaf-grits.
Numb-spun in centrifugal lurches
through worlds built on skeletal thought,
Space larvae with alkaloid armor rise
to sew interspersions of rot.
Rectangular streams distort
across curvilenear paths to glee;
I'm a colorblind, tigrine dragon
exhuming ice-tomes of neptunian sea.
