the need ender 

does whatever

soothes her tender

heart 

from her platform

built on pablum in 

clouty abundance 

​

no amount of 

skin shedding  

changes the fact 

warm poet is 

an anagram for 

tapeworm 

​

in my red rented eden 

I’m a snake 

​

I have no house 

I have no feet 

and past my few teeth 

white droplets 

 

from a rubber tree

portend the end of

wild civilization

​
