A life, called off to flame
on the top surface poetry pizzles
out anaesthesiologists
exit gates gardenia-scented
orchards then sickness union
100 flacons to minimise pain
imagine this happening
inside the Russian Imperial Courts
to the same creature day after day
civet rooms at the HQs of luxury brands
with extra-thick doors
preventing it from seeping out
polluting the rest of the building
glandular sac in the genital area
with a spoon after the cage door
pressed down avenues are shut
sonnets on sonnets gentle euphoriants
the songs? punishing out
hurt to what rampered
curled below the hedonic zero
go back to the start cruelty-free beach
burnouts copulating bottlenecks
808 DJI Phantom rings
softness trapped
watching the meaning
of loss or injury
