HOMESICK ALIEN IN CONSTRUCTION SEASON

The lifeforms
down here must be obstinate

parasites,

and this harsh

frontier land, a
cancerous wheezing accordion,

each distinctly upended
precinct of skin

wounded,

collapsing, and

shiftlessly
regenerating—

the aggregate 

cacophony, so booming

and tuneless,
I'm afraid

there is little
use—and no

space—for a
sermon like this.
