Choreography of the Resurrection Men

Apotropaics against a raging plague on New Borneo

Why Is Venus a Killer Planet?

Measured only in legacy units

Stilted Involution

In with a chance

The Inverted Fountain

White foam plumes

Over rocks where the parrot beak

Octopus beak

Smacks and sucks on each spouting burst

Where spiny pufferfish dart

And change their shape in alarm

A jewelled chicken’s foot clenches

Clasping nothing

In its final descent

Beneath the broad-banded waves

In a static rippling line

Unmoving before the whirling gale

Seaweed blanches and wilts

Purple wrack turns ghostly

Shrinking away from the dwindling rocks

As the night sea, turning tide,

Rolls away into the dark

And all the earth sinks back below.
