the alchemy of i
and it was an addictive, nothing
to wow about. the usual. silent passed
from one passenger to another. they all
smiled while passing.
wow i thought with the newly arrived
pastries baked right from the oven
just nearby. how warm, cozy, almost
like love when you take that first bite
on chocolate dense, infiltrating thoughts,
blending highs to higher, lows to the valley
of death - i could ask for no more.
wow each skin touching skin, like trust,
though these days it is more like weather talk
because the deeper layers has gone dark,
like the cloud hiding the moon,
the moon has already left though we know it not
still believing in cloudless skies not
looking with one eye yellowed.
shaped from lavish squander, the soldiers all
line up in a parade. lines not crossed. then the
bank breaks and wild horses rise to
heavens to make claims of injustice, who can blame them?
you said to be misrepresented when the cords are tied
around a neck, i said when cords tighten on me,
they said the roots have gone inside the heart, behold
hell looks to be heaven when pleasure
is the next addiction.
the heart said: i beat. from wine flowing from labels
not yet made, already the substance is thicker than blood,
clasp fast - to a promise of a unicorn whose magic has
been taken from a goat grinning
when a sheep is tossing inside her bowels,
please help. but it is hard to refuse the goat.
then chocolate passes as shit. stinky brown shit
with no refunds on a purchase, bitter sweet - sweet
filtered out. just bitter. bitter i, you, they. no refunds
on a moon whose absence was never taken to be -
just worshippers of the sun still saying her reflection
warms hearts, and a sun whose roots are burned by
false devout worshipping an idol called i not yet labeled.
