The Escape of the Kipper

 

Mademoiselle zog stretches
those flickering
ant white
recesses
flapping
between
your two flapdoodles
as in a dream
of metal diving globules
suspended in the deeps
where gruesome spudlarks cavort
and mud shingle shifts
in ancient patterns.
The steel shutters
of the retinal warehouse
clang - CLANG!
Libraries dance
polyps continue
the making of islands.
