ANGEL DIONNE
Edible Bivalves
Eight edible bivalves connected by fifteen adductor muscles.
Their electric groans, upsetting to the small bowel,
are generated by the oscillation
and acceleration of sand granules.
In swamp-dwelling dreams they synthesize.
In dreams of bedding,
dreams of tattered tongues,
and swollen fingertips.
In hair torn from sea-scalp
and translucent sea-foam skin.
Edible infaunal bivalves – intercourse on mudflats,
on molten earth,
on treetops of quivering loins,
infested with burrow worms
treating the throat to an episode of dramatic irony,
treating the fingers to a gelatinous symphony.
Just another species of worshiped parloudre.
