[Cosmic beauty washed ashore:] by Mariel Herbert

Cosmic beauty washed ashore:
interlocking multiverse
of her radiant scales; infinite
recursive spaces left for wreckers
to force open
to force open + steal
to force open + steal + inside
                                  cosmic beauty washed ashore…
