the universe lines up her billiards
but i’m going to thieve the blue one
jump the felt
and make for the wide open floor
when we broke our yoke
it wasn’t fire we stole
but something scorching, something smaller
i hid it in a key and forgot the green place it came from
let it drift out to sea
while i collected diamonds from the sky
dew from the lips of lizards
and suns from the earth’s center
but the pebble stirred to waking
resounding the heavens and echoing through hell
deafening as a gong with only a vibration
medusa could identify
levinbolts spark and char, cracking my skin
thunder shaking my writhing hair to bits
wrap tight the chameleon skin
clutch the caduceus and snag the sandals:
it’s time to -go-
my country swallowed by the sea
soul eclipsed
i have forgotten my names
there is only: leviathan
