cake in spring

  by   shaun lawton   The view portal at the Interstices offers many a dazzling vision   sprawled out upon a screen sometimes in convincingly three dimensions   of spawning living bio-cities growing like cornucopia pitcher plants sprouting dragonhide cacti in a multiplicity of forms spitting segments out onto the desert to go crawling and scurrying off into the shadows disappearing in their hurrying   to populate the evening with their ever breaking form to drop through cracks into the cellars and grow in darkness there only to uprise after the gestation period is over so we can celebrate a new holiday this year.
