Cracking a mountain,
pall over city,
oil on air
less refined
than straitened
emissions,
a conscript
to learning
(having beach-
headed so many
places of learning);
fertiliser
& ‘cattle trading’
regulated into homology,
inserted mis en abyme
as battue
with lessening
leeway
for imagery,
fish dead on slick
& forest creatures
shaking in the spectrum
of strobe & bass,
the bush doof styled
animism
that parodies
spirit, night-
strike exercises
of freewill over
Nature’s
reserves,
its mixes,
its range.
