Gastromancer Feeds & Feeds The mechanism is squeezed, births animation-- balloon mouth floats upon a checkerboard moor, says one thing & thinks another. Rolling yelps pass for words, tweeted grunts carbonate & swell. You are gut diviner, fill empty planets of heads, temper other bellies with the politicking of voiceover. You periscope from host body, craft the other side of hollow, wrap slippery eels around punchlines & master the push of lever/ pull of cord to make others do what you want-- brute of your colourful ways. Rikki Santer This poem is from upcoming collection, Drop Jaw. Rikki Santer's work has appeared in various publications including Ms. Magazine, Poetry East, Margie, Hotel Amerika, The American Journal of Poetry, Slab, Crab Orchard Review, RHINO, Grimm, Slipstream, Midwest Review and The Main Street Rag.
