Like this morning for instance Hot February and dry cracked skin of my shadow which sometimes seems to look at me and move w/out me and I, w/out it.
Sometimes I see the flicker of a dark soul jeer; a savage dance, right in front of me, or in the corner of my eye when my head is tilted.
The other day at my friend’s I felt like I was, briefly, in the sunflower courtyard of this ol’ dark underwater museum full of mirrors that float adrift. Angles that perpetually gyrate and shift…..
I hear the sound of a whale submerged in a highway crying with striving despair at night
and I'm sad because his lovers reply sounds so distant and it sounds as if it comes from a cavern w/in an ocean below a sun
I hope he finds her and dies happy in the warmth of her flippers....
I miss the panther-warm wine & cream Was it worth it Is this worth it
Cold violet city vacant warm lobbies at night desolate allies and dogs in such deep slumber they cant even wake to bark at impending footsteps The musty brown cars whose aura of mothballs and pipe smoke reminds you of a childhood irretrievable
I smiled back at the rocks that snickered Beside the fence which stood firm In caring vigilance
Cold verdure within Misery mixed with Getting bored w/ absorbing it
There’s a strange saloon w/ hotel attached at the center of Melancholy where flames are lit music is played bodies are slowly denuded and silver knives are thrown
I can show you…
(Long ago it seems I bit and kissed and became aquatinted w/ the bark of the root of delirium
Recently even I’ve spoken to the heart of delirium itself from within w/ no reply but I can remember all my memories were hallucinations)
