Someone with a very wide, squashed-flat head
And a very large bellybutton (that might be a chest wound).
Spirits look weird, because they don’t have to conform
Entirely to the normative appearances of people.

In the background pink and yellow-jello colored
Gunk stuck to the walls like bubble-gum contours
Chewy as the cellulose of tree-flesh, another
Indestructible, viewed through the indestructible

Blue-veined transparency of spiritual flesh.
God invented bodies because he hated this liquidity.
And the square shoulders of the soul as if
Squared-up for execution, and the eyes on stalks

Sprouting high above the head like escape-routes.
Hello. Are you ready for the bubble-gum ride?
The belly-button porthole leaks
Sad little blue-veined rivers that can’t face
