respiration

peacock bones rest on knives
wet wood splinters cut sharp
frames in hot monsoon blood rain
“…the neighbourhood decomposed”

hoards vomit gorging advertising
neurotoxins drip liquid life
wispy green spiders grip plastic
amphibians with samurai patience

plant life infused in damp legends
sea green peppermint toothpaste foam
moss flakes crack concrete pigments
“…toxic traction…hallucinogenic limbs”

powder dust lush crush species
red black green mint chutney bamboo
modernity regenerated as flags
painted on prayers in plastic pipes

lower your perception of resistance
popcorn pills around the corner
burnt chilli skeleton – metallic breath
“…done you are at the truth tree”
