NICHOLAS HAYES
Triune Husks
gravity of our internal suns
pulls our reptilian selves free
from fleshy mammalian bark.
freed to scurry over
arid, petrifying wood
mineralizing sediments
and crystalizing sentiments.
claw to claw,
scale to scale,
pineal eyes worked open
with lubricated digits.
we are only
vectors to disperse energy.
we are only
vectors to increase entropy.
Gooning in The Urchin Barrens
rhythm of limbs
in radial symmetry.
ecstasy that clear cuts
kelp forests.
alimentary canals
turned on themselves
through sweaty pectoral bush.
purple jasper. throbbing
tubes of polished
industry.
silt under the foreskin
irritating
frenulum
to amorphous organic.
splayed-legged
cuckoo cloud land.
splayed-legged
cuckoo cloud land,
emanation
of our devastation.
