Hummingbird,
reflecting shattered
strains of
stained glass light,
invoking the laws of physics...
 
You,
 
Threaded a muted conversation
through soup can telephones
into this delusional bubble
within the Novocaine fog.
 
Unexpected disruption
in my comfortable illusion,
grating vibration buzzing in...
 
Inadvertently excavating
that secret chamber,
pressure sealed,
 
Only to find there are no treasures inside.....
 
For the Sphinx has lost them,
and the mummy's venom
reactivates in this bent light...
 
and digests me...
 
from the inside.
