culture flows

through hibondaga nostril gears
around the swaddling peppermint leaves
that house the sacred pickle

for
if you were a swineburn lionfish
in an ocean of empty black
bristling with antannae
for

what
wood lets
to fountain
however green mirrors turn
in their wooden
fountain
eyes

these rough cliff ways
delude with their romance
in flower language
culture flowers

where peak nostril mating times
persist
perseus
grey wooden hag fountain shair

green pegasus pear
deep jade torso yolk

yoke you dime
ballcourt lumpen
polar terrier yacht
