The Organ of Corti (Tetrahedral Spiral)
By Jon Papas

the chick stolen from the over-easy   i. double-headed castration (mechanical transformation)
      bathes in abominable yellow milk, the G-word
            wrapped in terrifying fluids. the alpha-remainder
                  rent from skin, skin from chicken thighs, but leave
                        the hairs on, kosher-skinned genitalia. the restraints of flesh
                              bristle against flesh, scar deep ruts in the pubis, phantom
                                    drumsticks pounding perineum. The sensory world vibrates,
          felt in-the-gut, in the lower-than-gut, in the catholic
                                                ripping between the eyeballs of hip-sockets.              snails squeeze amorphous in the
                                                                 spiral shell, but skin requires
                                                              a definite constraint. n+7
                                                                        my pelvic ivory, see
                                                                      what noun you              find for                    cage. ii. transvection (shear)                                     like sprite              bottles upended
                                                           touching rims, a modicum               of lip flesh puckered, the tender               pressed together, the hurricane kept within
                                          body, while the orifices stay covered, out of
                                    the rain. wells that suck and spit, but stay stable
                              while I transvex between planes. the spiral curves
                        in and around the second chakra, !the swadhisthana!
                  the male seahorse bears children, the female mantis
            ingests the partner in a growling, spastic orgy
      of devouring. demolition, siren-like, calls even
      the fallopian in all of us. that primacy
      of destruction, that consuming
      consumption, the finger-
      length revolve, the
      bleeding orbit
      of sensual
      bodies      iii. I’ll have what we all had (recruitment)
      in gravity,
      wrapped around
      a primal nucleus, the compulsion
      to use me, wrap your knives around
      my sex. a copy of a copy functional inasmuch as
            I can feel your spine clicking against my carapace
                  torso. no primacy in origination. fuck platonics,
                        plutonics – stability is a myth of magma and
                              tectonics, a decayed metal faceplate wrapped
                                    in twenty-four carat gold. let it rot in the sea-salt.
                                            this is as it should be – declarative, tart,
                                                        artificed in the decadence of the                         corporeal, recognizable                                     copies only from                                waist down.
iv. aesthetic ignorance is so bliss (mechanical transformation)             the fluid                           timpani swirls
                                                                     around miasmas of
                                                       unknowing. dragonflies can              fuck midair, tails latched to heads. the               copulation wheel. the cocks keeps seed
                                   in torso. the spiral shortens, gaea gives
                        him a chop chop. air-fucking is no fun, the
                  absence of boundaries leads to a sameness
            of motion, to banality of sky, but I would take
            to the breeze, if it meant that
            this skin-sack would
            let me go.
            from the altar   v.  anything in white has the right to kill (shear)    fill your shells with diamonds
            spasm a long jet of shining crystal
                  with one deep pump. if what they
                        require is spotless, white, virgin,
                              show the puncturing, penetrate
                                    with egg, wrap a yolk’s slick
                                          orange fingers around a
                                                candle. be that 
                                                       pale, sheer
                                                              surface:
                                                                frictio-
                                                        nless.
vi. the tensile strength of aquatic sex (recruitment)              obviously    
                                                        fuck gender with
                                              a sword, break goliath
                                     with vibrators. be an unbearable                         rise in loudness. the sea will shear,         separate, split component bonds,          atoms, at the kinetic force of
                  bodies plowing water.
                  the multiplicity of  vii. open the god cupboard (mechanical transformation)
                  the monotheistic ampersand,
                  the tripartite, drag-show god in the
                        Jesus get-up, in white, a shotgun shell
                                in ecstasy, a clarion of blood, libel.
                                           let him, the patriarchy, melt
                                             away in the sun.   
viii. splice it between rocks (shear)               let genetics
                                                   burn off. wrap lips
                                           around contemporaneous.
                              the spiral only goes on for as long
                        as your eyes follow it. the wounds heal
                        only if you lance them. the 
                        vacuum only seals
                        if the brick             stays in              your   
                        hand
