CITIZENS OF A DUAL INCURSION
I.
remnants of a living room
now overfilled with sacs
world leaders converge in a cave
a screen descends
half digested
half paid for
II.
a nameless star
a baited beach
there is no allotment for personal effects
the undercarriage already lined with bags
III.
spores colonise
the unknown interior dimensions
the atmosphere halving
nature separating from the city
we will never consider
we have been lured to a spiked pit
a princess in her prime
still capable
overseeing the half-mast is in place
IV.

V.
a viscous circle
a bodyless widow
pulp coagulates
over the desert door
VI.
the medulla ties itself on
where life’s certainties continue to leak from
the anti-breed of man
and his evidence bag
reused in the corner
of the ocean floor
VII.
a flag, a shroud
waiting in the hourglass
all channels prohibit clotting
march on the body double
march on the body double
