last night, I was gulped by a dinosaur
he sucked me up like a Slurpee on a sunny day
in his belly two rock-eggs
sparkled like granite setts
I couldn’t know where the light came from
I couldn’t know that if I knocked them
together, they’d hatch two chicks:
pterodactyls, then birds
(which was odd, seeing as their daddy was a T-Rex)
they flew out his mouth and ate him from the outside in
and when the sun poked through his pale white ribs
I grabbed at a beam and pulled myself free.
