lying face down
sailing on green clouds
of absinthe

paddling my spoon
on blurry murky pools
tides bite back
frosty ice cool.

juggling streets
while skipping stones
bounce with heat in my chest,
my vest drips
puddles of sweat.

cat eyes
paint the sky
on this ceiling
inside,
angry smoke
burns my black lung chimney
coughing broken smiles.

wormwood planted seeds
float on cubes
of sugar and ice,
mice dance stepping
through the forest of my hair
zigzag foxtrots.

**** blazed
bongo bombers
blast bubbles of beats
from emerald egg drums,
along dizzying tunneled paths
snoozing in bathtubs.

Ziggy strums his guitar
on faraway Mars
colliding orbiting cars
and shooting stars.

falling from treetops
with my green fairy,
sing me to sleep
in absinthe alley
while pins and needles ***** my legs
peg the dead wormwood
tucked into bed.
