china doll in full fatigues
splayed across the jungle floor
yellowed curls quibble against lex naturalis
encroaching vegetation
moist and fertile
eager to take root
entwine her fractured skull
sprout across the anvil of the land
fling whispers to the wind
pollinate the revolution!
china doll sleeps, hands in fists
beneath the umbrella of a cocoa tree
ant battalions cascade down climbing vines
lockstep, compulsive
mindlessly marching rote formations
flank treacle lips painted rafflesia red
tiny boots mar her porcelain bone
reclaim the space
save this place
drill her body back into the earth
