Smoke billowed from a wall of purple Hebrew scripture
And the television zoomed onto Menendez de Ribault’s grave.
On the wall hung an oil painting of a unleaved penis attached to a shirtless man
That was choked by a giant rabbit holding a rubber chicken.
The dancing went on and on until everyone’s minds were nowhere to be found and the robotic parakeet stopped chirping “poo tee tweet.”

I walked to the store as the sun burned the scruff of my neck
A little girl applauded my progress from the balcony
She asked if it was far to walk to buy some peaches
It was not.
The peach tasted so sweet to my lips, and I wished to be enveloped by other things so sweet, but those times never come.

Saturate me with your saffron laser
Taze the air chills from my kidneys
Warm my armored skin in kind
As you do when you etch the gleam
On every particular speck of time!
When I found your etiolated skull
With giant X’s instead of eyes
I smelled the soup of your broken shell
And pleaded that the waves transport you
To the sun castle hidden hind the night sigh.

Hear me speak shallow dogs and children of the corners!
A crisp bolt of lightning will strike an artesian oak
that marks the center of gravity in the proximate cyprus swamp
next tuesday at 7:02 pm.
Wind beaten branches had been placed in its worldworn tower
to create the home of an eagle, graven upon a gold dollar,
with fledglings having brought their birth on the prior sunrise.
There was something in the smell of smoke that was intransient.

Across, in all its waxing presence, developed a seagreen corona of salinity.
How could it do anything, when it was scintillating alone onto a sere mountainside?
Thirsting Astraea, you must look towards the ocean built beaches to see your blind beatitudes!
There in the drowned grasses lied a secret eel, one that told me to swim closer.
