intricate entrails

an equation of metal 

dire machines

owl or no owl

beastly light

hewn face

shred of darkness

backbone of purpose

fouler tissues in a fouler empyrean 

bird-made darkness

bladder-head

God's liver

let go my lemurs

crumbs of fire

gelid beauty

monkey-eating eagle

brow like a melon

a sullen, prawn-coloured luminosity

the entrail-gobblers

the belly-brained

the moon's retching

thighs as wet as turbots

a twinge of joy

a delirium of heads

rapid, various, proffluent

a smouldering fist-feel of raw plunder

the human oysters

"Words can be tiresome as a swarm of insects. They can prick and buzz. Words can be no more than a series of farts; or on the other hand they can be adamantine, obdurate, inviolable, stone upon stone"
