The conch's twist holds an old world. Just beyond the glossy rim
where the shell curves out of sight a half-full bottle plunges into the sea. The green glass has no end, its sides spreading
light like a coloured lens. But this ocean is a dark edge, as if eyes had never lifted
its hard dermis. A wave curls and becomes icecream in a turqouise bowl. You are here, looking through spirals at someone else who is you. The bowl empties and a cold signifier stings the skull.

People stagger back from the city with stories of folk half-eaten,

when something in its belly slugs to you.
You who will know it
by the staunch pout of the navel, and its pregnant
curve: a vacuum bag of all the abstracts that it gobbled,
a starving mass of self-ingestion.
By limbs. They are not numerable; do not try.
Reachers in all dark matter, subdued to the gnaw of fingernails and the slithers scrape
