Sculpin and mollusk devour
soft tissue, snot worms colonize bone,
urchins form a phalanx:
in my garden, spiderwort blooms.

Kilometers press carcass to clay.

Sculpin and mollusk devour soft tissue,
snot worms colonize bone,
urchins phalanx stingers.

In my garden, spiderwort blooms.

L1 might be completely disposed of,
L2 might be broken in two,
L4 might receive a verb,
and L5 might be connected with a colon or em dash:

Thanks for reading & your thoughts, River, I made most of your suggestions, just moved devour up, I think it's a better line break.

I think it's cleaner now.
