elephants

sand-paneled sheets melted out of a lost friend’s ear
mythal waste (filthy tissue white-strophy) a skinless dice, bark and jerky
shards in manzanian wastelands, looterykins lying in piles of rag-bed orchards
hearts almost closed to the super-lone giant, but a sigh of relief, their voice
barely audible: “good morning.”
