		<title>Hatching Joni Mitchell/ Abiogenesis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Radiated men will eat the flesh of radiated men.”
-Bukowski
Dermis tears shabby scabs
stems stake
prussian blue crimson black.
Heliotropic as spyrogira flags
they stalk.
Bodies are water.
The itch to spawn broods.
Brooding spews filaments.
Name the fibres.
Let the fibres name themselves.
Ariadne after Ariadne after Ariadne
spool synapse succour.
Spores ganglion implant. Bleed
branches.
Bodies are water.
Entire generations knit
renting flesh.
Strands reel unheimliched.
Swaddled between the dermal layers of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Survival Method</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scientifically speaking, you know how.
You carry your own kit, sinew wrapped
and held down by veined cords. Its use, you

And later, [...]]]></description>

Crusoe. Your child’s soul, id-wrapt, peekaboos and tiptoes at
intervals alpha columns stow. Fettered ether Parthenon
hesitates between unborn, then sorts. Rebid, a diplomat
For simple stilts, wooden shutters, bamboo stools and teepee screen
