The Gelatin Giantess

after Kutti Revathi’s “Angels We Are Not” and some lovely Gurlesque Poets

The Gelatin Giantess II

It was in the morning,

when the hard rain lopped

off your head.

Flung it to the ground,

but it kept crawling,

mostly eyes, no ears,

bug brain, aimless.

Legs without mandibles

that birds chewed and spat out.

Pink, slimy, welted,

your body went searching,

through the city deficient

in sperm count.


The Gelatin Giantess VII

Casting mighty shadow

of bare body after slurping

clean your flesh’s slush,

you carried lamp-lit to the temple,

leading the festival procession.

Tiny hooves pelted stones,

snouts nipped your juicy ankles,

their squeals congealing.

You flood down the city

catching it on fire.

They chase your skin, those surly piggies,

which howls and leaks

like the true stench of punk.


The Gelatin Giantess XCIX

Oily Sphinxes own this now,

prowling they search for dried

milk of the forefathers.

From the city underbelly,

from your moist, black soil,

breasts sprout with thick sour

rinds. We might tell you

what a corpse is.

Nobody will hurtcha.

It’s cold and they will eat

what’s pink, fleshy, and a torment.

As the sun sinks yours bloom so,

the worms can thread your bones.
