gregor’s transformation
the pit of my soul dissociates;
explodes from an illusory crow-black marrow,
scarlet beams mushroom
permeating every crevice of being.
extirpate the essence
and break apart at the pith,
exploding bits of broken atoms
race toward the tips
of a nude black skeleton.
gelatinous restructuring from the inside-out,
blue waves of god's breath
ripple up locks on end;
lungs expand with ballooning vacuoles—
blood streams down arteries, arterioles, and
O! internal ambiatic white noise
devour digest and develop!
