​Shipwreck: Part 12. 
archaeology on mars

or just 
scratching
at the 
lactica lattice 
once inflamed 
twas I 

in the 
back garden 
my remains 
matter
matter

martian deer
dear dear

as a shoal 
school fish 
barely fish 
at all 

martian
atoll 

any fish 
at all
a toll 

tourists are 
willing to pay 

a rural 
particle 
ascraeus 
muon nuan

scoffed he
neutrino 
detractor 
array 

observatory
observe

so much
dark muttering
that matters 

between those 
that are and 
those that were

​shipwreck 11. tied island

the children’s portion
of the exhibit is
unfinished with
only a loose leaf
notebook of
sketches
available

the children are
uncertain of the
details they are
safe they are

unaware of much
beyond the mascots
which have been
designed based
on what they
what they
remember
from before

there is
a place
to sit
to sit
they are
seated there

the budget
the budget

remember you
remember me
the tombolo
connects
the isomers
the islands
the thought
is to pattern

footprints across
the ayre
excavated on one
island there will

be a disco
a place to eat
and dance the
other the other
is where the
artifacts
are kept

the name of
the island
is tusk
is lemon
is melon
is husk

the children
enjoy the
presentation

it’s only
archaeology
dig discover
dig again

​shipwreck
part 10: witch in pelagia incanting

aboard the oceanic
the ship oceanic
too grand a word

too grand for the
humiliant tumble
above the mote

and the dust
undulant with
in the vitreous

seethe tourist
admiring
pictures of mars
pictures of mars

neither close to
the bottom
nor near the shore

is itshadow
is itstain
cast within
which thefish
range and

no stairs from
the cold pelagic
blaze which
layer whose lair

whosehome
is tidal
none none

​Part 9.
shipwreck: sermonizer

he is wont
to die in sand
too means
he will pass lain

UnderstandUnderstand

this unlanded
fixation
vexed
who is

to the west

do we feed/
do we feast

this is the shore
where is the beach
this is the shore
