animals
I take their thoughts into account when I engage their attention
their person ali ties discordant rhythm different types of electricity
coursing through the enigmatic brain matter their faces grim
their teeth knowing their understanding blessed phosphorescence
derived from creator’s radiance the twelve masters hidden in plain sight
one is the canine soul hidden in plain sight
eyes of understanding snout droops compassion revealed
(and the sixth a worm) complete burrows into attention
core of monkey planet rebounds and then sound is movement
hills of dramatic authorities exhume stretches of barren lost
below magnetic ululations colored diminished purples
the smelling of burning cobalt wishes
patterns of fundamental guilt
triumph of the eight emotionless over-large giraffe male and erect
body covered with patches of human leather (assigning a label)
tearful rage a pelican tattoo on both spindly forelegs
lustful weariness and and secret dirtied dream
to eat meat of deformed apes mouths stuff with eucalyptus leaves
eyeballs
as tiny grapes in bunches
