etiolated shell
ball bearings for knuckles
crimson branches
that shudder in the albumen
of the eyes
palms riddled with skinny rivers
navy straws
wrist fissures
roots of calcium
punctured silver
carrier-bag lungs
interior accordion
sack of cherry fluid
limited edition
throbbing blob
in the mirror
yourself not quite
yourself
unchosen blueprint
modified mainframe
filled with tea
and slabs of cheese
envelope of bones
cauldron brewing
on and again on
