Face of the Deep

Face of the Deep

               Surly 

Overcompensating 

          Auto de fé  

Nobodaddy 

               Blasts 

His light over the void 

Crusty shell with por

Ridge in the middle

But gloom remains behind 

          Sanbenito

As a reminder that light 

Once flicked cannot be easily 

          Doused 

Water beneath— 

Bring amongst

          Moves

     Transforms

Grows away from alive 

(Where piano in the living 

Room became an anachronism) 

          To reproduction

Fallen day today

     Quemadero

Breakfast 

     At Biscuit

'Pat of butta, spit, stir, taste'

Good?

          Bad? 

     You're in tea?

Between firmament— 

          Maria

Even light dries under light 

     Uttered alone 

          On her knees

One pound Bunny Luv carrots

King Arthur all purpose

(Sparrows' dreams)

          'Show yr work'

Guardez l'eau

     Stuck in the loo

On the other side

Of a curvature

          Singularity 

Once flicked cannot be easily 

          Doused 

Itty bitty props:

     Nose hairs

Personal watermelon

Those are raisins in the loaf 

Not miniature black holes

     Lobsta roll

          Solar flares

Clouds of burnt garlic

Gestation tanks—

          Maria

Emergent props

Sometimes harden

     Into kernels

          Dried up flakes

"You have got to be 

The last one standing"—

Self-awareness might be 

               Good test!

But gloom remains behind 

"Check with your delivery

Driver just to be sure"—

     Reconciliation

          Penitence

Gradually from each other's

Skit— Dancers dance
