Caught on the softest azure cloud
Ruminant noises drifting
Buzzes of no consequence
Call for attention nonetheless
Arrived today on my doorstep
The humming mental spaces found
Lifted in airy somber cloud
It won’t be cruel, I think
this time


No need for alarm
To quake the fabric of this place
These walls don’t move
Fractured boundaries broken still
Past visits from the same blue menace
Fears bottled for future virility
Nightmarish mysteries a veil


Won’t be wary now
To be kept warm by apparitions
Events transpired underwater
When I lived underwater and
Not only ankle-deep
It’s all better now
To compare is to regret
