dendritic agate in f major seventh

by Gerry Torn

baby look at me
all twisted in the mirror
the glow is here
on little plastic ships

my body is pale and soft
like some deep living larvae
but i have the calories to undergo
a transfiguration

the truth of the matter
is in the bare hip
when the arms raise

the thing that brings me close
burning organic matter scent
sweat and spit and hair and enamel

I only want to be a necklace, or a ring
on your living flesh
set in metal
