I The stars are double-weighted tonight. bulging, beating, they sink from their proper lurches. One by one across the murky evening they sputter out. What natural light remains seeps from that subtly gaudy bauble of a moon.
II Peeled eucalyptus, ice-plant, new-mown summer grass, dandelion, sloping hill, carved stone bench, the view, the reflected city-light off the bay water, white-washed near-tenements.
I am firmly locked up, chained in a bone cage of chemically manipulated cranial plates; serotonin, synapses, dopamine, dendrite create a web like seaweed constricting the sea; this computer of a head calculates, oscillates, and processes the sensory.
III My body is a tattered jib sail flowing in the light sprinkling rain: the simmer of the gale: a hollow cathedral abandoned by the believers: a vessel for my marrow: an imaginary catalyst for profundity: an incarceration: a hull of particles arrested: some part of an experience.
