lost in the whorls
of this aleatory allegory
thusly inscribed
in the fibonacci sequence
inherent in this
fossilized nautilus
unscribed in lime
a rhymeless misery
of wanton syllabic abuse

predators rest
burrowed downdowndown
in the silt of settled
dreamshatter husks
unblinking
unthinking
while the world
is steadily
sinking
into the fat deposits
of prepubescent godlings

screaming nonsense
in whispered bouts
singing happy dirges
in furtive shouts
the darkness grips
mad mad mad as a loon
spinning and dipping
in love with the moon

lost in the margins
forgotten footnotes
regurgitated regalia
an auditory allusion
this aleatory allegory
a sickness
this dying alone
