original poem included background image
all downhill
freeze dried
embryos
in Vallombrosa
could be
embers…
d’you want to view
the prequel?
she stood
among aliens
sipping
bubbly
nervously
soon
an unthinkable
thing
castigated her
for not
fulfilling
her part
of the bargain, of
course
she had
not thought through
the consequences
of touching, one
her friends
warned her
these things
that stand like
trees
and talk like
movies
smell like
soap
are not
to be
trusted
you must not
touch
