tectonic plate
float on
Through the Looking Glass sensation
mirror where everything is backwards
foliage of trees combusting
surreal jousting, with
this environment, flaming
coming across a Koala
paws singed
from walking on asphalt
splintered light
commonly known as sunbeams
wafting
milieu lying
tour-de-force tsunamis
glaciers on diets
oxidisation
chemical species
Genesis
to eat the carbon atom
calorie carbs
enshrouded, elongated tinpot
vicissitude raptor
vultures in the oval office
the crocodile frowned down
raptor, licentiousness veered
like the mantle
intrusive igneous rock, raptor like a
peridotite or platypus
has hot spot plume
crocodile’s influx of crustal words
is hoping to affect the core
earth’s seismic activity occurs at these boundaries
tectonic plates
the wanting for the earth’s crust to erupt
like the platypus surfacing for air.
