Insidiously cutaneous the avalanching alpha-pitch.
Ow-oooooooooo-oooooooooo-ooo-ooo
Throaty exfoliating whips the dead of winter
a wide predatory incrustation—scalp, countenance,
torso, and gut. A middle of everywhere nowhere.
Phew! Scent the whiff of cat whiz. Piss flowers.
Scabby and undomesticated. Wild Pea. Wild Bean.
Seed-dispersed, the seat of eruption wolfed
skewbald and bereft, alopecic, mongrel’d.
