Poem
Creature you in breach on me
This being rocks all living things
She swings on vines and clings on trees;
amazing beast that wildly sings
On me she puts a witch’s spell;
a dart frog poison liquid gel
My lyric-bathing, cinematic,
gnawing bone, tumbling in havoc–
Oh, and she dances I might add,
a folly, live hamadryad
Her breath is strong but never reeks;
her voice is loud, but never speaks
While bold in ears and nose and cheeks
the creature’s skin feels fine and sleek
Oh, dancer queen that rubs off bright
A brilliant lunar satellite
with actions that I gyrate with,
and commands that I am at width
to consider, if to me it tells
because I’m under witches’ spells
And lizard tongues with dragon wings
and blueish pools of youthful wells
sparkle, glitter shines on its shell
and above its hundred gleaming eyes
It makes a clear disguise because all clarity she brings
With a natural sense like vast backdrops
or cauliflower lollipops
She burns like fifty suns, the creature
An animal of circus fun
Her radiation fries my outsides,
her hide is woven lead sulfide
And eyes too deep for rocket ships
to endlessly fleet the universes,
Too bright for super nebulae
Such dark and muddy fantasy!
A globe of points tied down in one
This ache, I feel, when she has gone
like parasitic symbiont;
an avant-garde cartoon savant
with animated movie smiles in exaggerated style
The scorching that I feel before surreal peace sets me clean;
my feet turn all the shades of blue and my face turns all green
ever since the beast lent her neck and back to saddle me
From the dawn of time until the night, its fix holds on to saddle me
