about

THREE HAIKU VS. THE PET GILA MONSTER (a song cycle)

lyrics

Nestling in the rushes-o
The sepia-twinged famine of old, of yore
Hooks its horns into the warp
Unravels and knits the simultaneously ebbing flowing shroud
It is written in visible stone
It is ruled with crooked staff
Serpent struck
Beaten into pulp and pew
The stench of marsh
Mangroves, papyrus
The snake or the mongoose
The seven lean dancers
A sphynx-aided question
Sunken shaft to antechamber
Dive dive dive
