The Myth of the Apollo Belvedere Cooked and Eaten as a Borderless Dessert

Alex S. Johnson

Ampulla of rustic houses.
Glass tubes from erotic convents.
Infantile-archaic landscapes.
The big pill of a crane’s bill swallowed by magic.
Phials throb with an assertive backbeat.
Metal retort shreds into Goliath.
Retorts with a second opening for necrophiles.
Iron pots for robotic nudity.
Cementation box for wax masks.

Crucibles in which lamentation bakes
emblems of the golden scarab.

Horned feathers in
marvelous procession interfere
violently with objective
accounts of a spit, a burial
scaffold and a gurney, nodes of
transformation, red and black wings
cross-hatched to the utmost detail.

These monsters of nature
put off their course by gigglesome gems,
build machines of hoarfrost,
as obelisks use a
spatial map to suppress the boundaries
of islands, ships, cubes and moons.
