oratory of the clam
in sunshine:
dull breakers,
quell your sparkling quarks
from me
for i am an island
inside the island
of my under-pearl.
i've gnashed histories
pubescent flesh for you
and your sun
so forceful
with my lover's moon.
dull breakers,
challenge not
the early morning bread
of meat.
instead,
slosh wayward
& flail hope like rivers mud.
my teeth
are yet evolving
so fear me not.
& the faithless wonderings
of ill tides fall upon me.
i am skin.
night feeds me
while I sleep.
i'm inside you here
where mother pushes
like a clock.
& while she tic tic tics
the ocean falls.
i'm breathless
here in the sunshine
where i can not breathe...
