The (particularly) Fragmented Thoughts of a Mage in Battle (as he tries to keep his stomach settled)
Or: Ah...pregnant couples. How lovely.
K. Ryan, December 2004
fan-tailed with wings to terrify
(fly-on-octopi-legs)
lima-fur fading into insect fragile flamingo
and an orange orangutan flies
immersed in scattering scales
jeweled jasper hide hiding
meerkat-muskrat joints jaybird
bigger-bellied cerebral centipede dances
diaphanous membrane making snake
skin slipping spiders' seven antlers
arranging platypus-pouch for forelegs
found where whales live
live whale song softly wakes
lethargic-lethal-sloth
(sometimes-finch)
feral.
