Frogs

    telescopic texts (avec "?") (11/x)

    dilated pools, star-gazed — surrender pinkly
    to phobia of frogs. if you dismember
    those bracing, faceless bodies — lost in love
    their coiling gyres, desiring — helixing
    directions — inward, home. or intervene
    against the skyward cough — raw, gaping need
    to swallow more — when pollywog is strung
    by lunar air. ritual drowning of gills,
    suffering insurgency — the gulping word,
    fata Morgana flooding Camelot —
    is twinned ecstasy of triple betrayal.
    for swimmers' lust, the sea is all. and still —

    her cries are not for us, alone — we hone
    the bluest chord of velvet-driven reverberation.
