by the seashore

by the seashore

 

(by the seashore)

 

sits the soft decAy.

breast laden frames 1by1(in neat rows)

unquenchable olive flesh thirsty dirt

devour

 

but sotoo there is this:

 

in the beneath quiet quays

the green darkness pulls ugly

gull crys oily wings from hideous throats

virulent diseased avian beak *****

exhaling billowing bacteria

 

plume

disgusting riot of feathers

white grin bleached pearl bones repose sandy drug

and all the children laugh horribl e to spread sickly

f

ingers

 

by the seashore
