You and I canoe down neon waterfalls, Smelling cinnamon and sinsemilla, Through sockets cascading melted eyeballs, Intermixed with honey and vanilla, We push paddle towards combusting shores, Cloaked in pellucid smoke and glimmer mist, Black sky alive with buzzing glowbug spores, We must inhale to know that we exist, But what if the hazy vapor-stew's too thick, Paddles stick: viscosity of time, When the sporal secretions make us sick, What will become of the horizon line, Will it burn to charcoal reality Or conjure us sublime finality?

Psychedelic Sonnet
A spiralling ascent Along the world's edge Sweatdrops fall To a below without sunlight Boot dust Llamas labour under supply packs Hoof beat lantern dance Shadows cast on the cliff face Distorted we loom Above the mute fog of humanity Summitous Awash in the final dawn The old Inca smiling sprouts his knife Ancient tapestral landscape Exhales into us Curvously infolding The old Inca holds out his hands The knife cuts horizontally Reality opens like a book upon a tabletop There, he says, Pointing to the infinite space between where the sky in the past met the land Timespace lies like a discarded washcloth And we see dimly through the mists— There, he says, Pizarro could not follow us, And we see dimly through the mists— The neon lights of Neoqusqo

Machu Picchu
give me that meaningless ******** sweet nothing nonsense sonneting on & off & on again. everyday, all day we were softer shades of comet spitting stars across the cosmos I feel awful about feeling awful this morning. we were alone together in the dark lost for the most part. the sound of lights of day & of night inspire me & I'd like to try to fly even though I'm really really tired &I; know I'd end up this amorphous red inkblot of blood & chunks of flesh on the sidewalk. just an absolute mess. the fever broke then settled in & I went the way of the sugar rush instead. I like you to death.

Surreality
Your eyes, your face, your hair, your lips, Your smile, your skin, your curves, your hips, When I wake I crave your face, when I sleep I crave your dreams, Your laugh is my nectar and your touch is my wine, Your existence my world, my lingering lifeline, I'm drunk on your words and high on your presence, I long for your laughter and get off on your whispers, You are an addiction that seeps deep into my soul, As vile as a poison and as dark as coal, But I'd still walk a thousand miles, to bask in your beauty, A beauty so surreal it defies reality, And I'd still trace your face in my every waking moment, Counting the seconds till I can see you again, Even though every second with you is nothing but pain.

Addiction
If I ever woke up in a surreal world I would saunter into my sister’s room With luminescent eyes and detached limbs And feign as if it were the way of life I’ve come to known and held as true Then as she'd collapse into an outburst of tears Her fractured reality abstracted to a menace Her sister—me, glowering, conjured too In a world where meaning is defunct, horrifying, lonely I would laugh, because that’s what sisters do.
