la transfiguration juste en dessous de la chair

coconut cream paper

woven inlay

behind a shadow

only visible through glass

boiling bubbles

solar rays dissolve pupil ink

from a window

burning organic compounds en masse

fizzled folio

fading fast into

a summer shade drawn

filling the room in dusk

crinkled chunks

of charred pigment set in

like a stick n’ poke tattoo

covering the canvas with rough tree trunk

blistering boils bobble

just underneath the flesh injected

before the pain can even settle down

dyeing the flesh in night sky thrash.
