between nose-red gross
walls        sprawling with tipsy
tables the abonminable
floor belches smoky


laughter into the filigree
frame of a microscopic
stage whose jouncing curtain.         ,rises
upon one startling doll


undressed in unripe green with
nauseous spiderlegs
and excremental
hair and the eyes of the mother of


god who spits seeds of dead
song about home and love from her
transfigured face a queer
pulp of ecstacy


while in the battered
bodies the odd unlovely
souls struggle      slowly     and     writhe
like caught.brave:flies;
