A serpent’s heart is what you fed it.

[ghostowlattic]

lower moonbird street

crow in a tin cab spits tobacco at your feet caws like a train horn

the air is thick wet sheets of heavy sultry mist like walking in broth

smells like sugar piss gasoline and rose water vanilla lamb shit

fabricant wangles clunky steam belted robots sing like ice creams trucks

selling popsicles out of their open bellies dripping residue

parcel bikes fly by foot peddled shamble-cycles rode by thin worm men

gob smacks of goaders beggers holding dented tins asking for spare bones

dirty projectors flicker monochrome spectres on fat daikon huts

mind wraith cinema spill phantasmagoria flicker flicker flash

polychromatic hypertensive blues herons swapping banjo licks

slackjawed moonrakers offer snot balled bdellium essential perfumes

pale blimpy larvae reeking of rain dirt squirm by bits in their pincers

driving carriages hawkish black suited coachmen reigns taut in talons

birds here tall as men and men flutter by like birds little air vagrants

bearded pap fairies draped in stinking soiled loin cloths passed out on trash piles

possum-head pig men riding beetle back clamor awful vexing bells

handing out pamphlets while caterwauling grotesque proselytizing

giant root buildings serpentine under-scrapers from out the loam sky

thousand-foot parsnips permeated with windows thriving winged traffic

their sinewy tips trickling meager waterfalls into foggy meres

great arches of roads stone sheets on chaff bird nesting steep wicker terrains

dotted with small tin perforated thimble craft teetering across

little trolleys fly on long lolling cable threads crisscrossed every way

over the sluices glowing orange sludge dripping down scalding skull bridges

rambling scrappers on wood wheels with tall junk sails land ships passing by

this bleak cavern noir is blossomed by a gleaming ocean of glow lamps

dim roving lanterns restless lost stars of sapphire float the dark nether

thin green eyes spy you preening cat boys kill-dressed in sparrow nest jackets

red stars in alley weasel-things in leather pants smoking on rollies

hoary old lizards round gas lamps long tongues in jugs of molasses rum

neons nictitate each promising arousing bare downs and puffed tails

just come on inside heavy endotherm petting hard-shelled relations

denizens afoot less and less like animals and much more like things

man with brass air vent raven boy with task lighting hydraulic women

matted furry waifs with pinball lights and bumpers and circuit board tongues

they sell filament grub meat and fairy bone smoke ziggies and bog rolls

her twenty watt eye flickers in a dark cash booth keeps a slug loaded
