Lay Me Down

There were eyes that were unseeing
Ninja-style silent baby birth

The whole city was asleep
sand-blinded by prominent images

Cement flamingos rolling pearls
across a white marble foyer

A bodiless head found in a mint field

Unfinished oil paintings
bought and sold

Creating new fiction genres
Writing poems in Indian squid ink

The middle of a hollow blue ball
an edible bone lodged

Metaphysical swamp gas

Unanswered prayers
Locust swarm
