EAT ME DON'T EAT ME

The Devereux, London

22 Oct 2024

LEAF MOULD MANIA

new species of biophilia
transcribing trees
in lieu of a hug

trunk stab lullabies
xylem ventriloquy
in atonal recital

adaptogenic listening
to leaf wave mood music
encultured into holy tinkle

five-petal formalism
casting mandrake spells
with the Devil's Trumpet

jimson weed delirium
carnatic manoeuvres under
bioelectric fall sensors

hallucinating healing
from organic harmonies
of goatskin and catgut

Madagascan periwinkles ask
do aubergines dream
of electric people?

Green Onions poke
through the floor
from the bar below.
