    “A lax night-shift
    in the astronomy, will thee to good portion;
    shrike's vibrato
    sordid pale heat
    o' sweet temple's keystone, a sermon of devils
    culling with wroth hangers-on
    they lift my legs and thrum my womb
    summon harems to bethrothal
    i were century/s god
    they say i was human once
    apasara's groan
    but i wast
    new and old god-”
