Lye my back flat, horizon-like, Draping the bathtub. A ticklish caress of my lithe finger To my ***** thigh, after I set A book on the toilet seat, away and still, A mere foot from the shower. I stare, upward, at the cratered ceiling While it surely starts to bud; Opening up faces and dreamscapes in Dark shades of light that Cause my iris to sink And expand; pulse-like. I move my supple arms over my ears from my sides and Back down to my sides. Thoughtful. Psychological terminology and therapeutic Rhetoric begin to invade my mental: Dissonance, disassociation and Depersonalization. The three D's. I soak and Remember that Saint-like paisley bed set; Magenta flowers dotting Moss-green labyrinths, Bedecked by golden shapes that reflected medieval woodcarvings Beast wings. Matching curtains shut out the rest of the Neighborhood like a removed escape and A vibrancy that resonated as Safe and enchanting In subtle proportions. Saturated kin to my unexpressed wonder I always felt human In that shut-out open room Recollections of the week prior Spilling out and Talk about the cosmos; the Occult mysteries. Untangling a web the world had sewn around Two soulful inquirers. The water drains.
