A few new Astrometry Organons:

ALPHARD

Hydraheaded toreador
ekes this kid
toward the foam.

Bluejay at center
worried in a whorl.

Bearded homunculi arrayed
in a goose-V aimed at Pluto.

Silver up to here.

Here's where I go offline.

Check the locks.
Check the door.

No-one gets out
or in.

***

THUBAN

Oracle, ventricle:
dilated serpent torc:

the way she moves like a metronome
into and out of
sight:

grasses wilt & rise.

Sunlight
turning to dust
or pollen
on her lips
as if
inside her:
100 years
of peace.

***

SADAL MELIK

Jumbo shrimp boat plasticine:
festive camphor votive

denies egress to the ibis.

A rasp dolled-up
for surgery

in fields of
mueslix chai macchiato,

Joe Dimaggio falun gong
sex martini lexicons &
gumbo ashtanga
utility bombs.

Ikea muzzle
for the afterlife.

Astarte wed to
Ralphie Wiggum:

somewhere in the midlands,
a cootiecatcher
ate the world.
