Have you heard
About the man
Who hid inside
His own stomach
Ate his own intestine
And came out of his own mouth
Again and again
In the form
Of a worm?
He would then go back,
As the worm,
Into the deep dark depths
Of his own body
Through an artery
Leading to a secret lake
Next to the left atrium
Of his heart
Where,
He had heard,
Some wild swans
Gathered
At midnight
To fish
And where a little girl
Came to dance
At twilight
Under a sheath
Offallen stars.
