Archeopteryx, an airborne hermaphroditic fowl
drifting through the austere deposit, deathless influence
pressing in our own cretaceous froth – magnificent she
by the ether burst of amber and sage: now forgotten
I recognize that ebony bruise alive on the sole
and unaware, drawn closer to this jewel than – God
Whatever the harlot wants to believe, it's too taxing.
Another lotus for the unpoets, fresh and oral
with the aftertaste by précis – curious pleasures
What use is manifest, savory raptor epitaph
myth by man that lurks and meddles gaily without respect
we kiss, we dust, we endure with our fossil lullaby.
