In love two lie
In bony piles
Their flesh compressed
Their souls molt
Shimmering sheets
Of dust mite autumn
A slaughterhouse encased
In blooming billions
Fault line fractured cells
Fissure tension set in meat
Words lodged in back fat
Release gaseous meaning
Back become beach
Grazing skin field crustaceans
Breathe life upon this Earthly mass
Surveying the occasional corpses
Systolic haunt and hunter's path
Is all the sign
That love entwines these
Spiny starfish
