skirting the
volcani rim garden's
drooping wastrel
peppermint trails we
came at last to the gash
where the side of the mountain
had been opened up
and the archibots allowed
to run deep into the magma
squirting out parodies
of classical buildings
joined like couplings
or multiplications
of weird twins
doors opening onto doors
over boiling chasms
enormous statues
made into bridges
or hollowed out
and piping steam
through ornate blowholes

one could steep like a teabag
in all this metaphor
one thing echoing anouther

a noother
a sooth case
for sea cheese
a scurrying behind a tree
where the light
or the little movie makers
raise their poppyhands
to the blue armadillo

we camp in magma
a magma of memories
dates and conclusions

peppermint
medusa
contusion
