(magic eye the whole ten penny alley way, give out black light fuzzy recipe cards ...)
they said they kept the severed heads
for when they go kiting the underworlds
they kneaded what felt sacred
what would keep them safe from harm
marking each day, counting
the passing irregular seasons
after dark matter plumes stole time away ...
what the unseen
a planet changing
reality for them
became
new temples
being born
visitors slowly
angler fish wondered
awed and attracted
to the magnetic resonances
of their worship
this is
what had sustained them
consecrated with why
they said they needed flesh
and taken by guerrilla guile
it was so written
so they could remember
quickened & nourished
feeding pulse song and surprise
eyes long ago sent
pining for the nose
knowing what they had
looked like before
their humanity died ...
