Faisant

 

they were always there    

                                                                        the new animals  

masses of worlds insisted upon till    

                                                a corps sans organes

worn

            binding their inventions in an in

                                                an earthquake

human and two

a chimera

a bee

asserting

how divisible one is

                                    and how

more than ever

 seeing

is an art

                                                            and thinking,

                                                                                    animal
