it sits there, a cold fish-eye
what words could i possibly use
to satisfy, to fill its gaping maw?
in the belly of this ichthyosaurus
is a killing ground, a vast necropolis
fetuses swimming in formaldehyde
perhaps
they will resurface somewhere in the future
awaiting dissection, next to the pickled frog
careful, you've nicked the alimentary canal
hold it under water thusly, observe
the methane bubbling to the surface
even in error, knowledge can be gained
