VI // underneath the plastic rainbow
From within the lightless cove, a memory
Softly melding into formlessness;

Internal oceans intersect
Seeping into synapse
As I caress
The wounded
Antelope eyes
We will undress
Hallucinatory shapes
As we make love upon
The moth-eaten mattress

From the soil of this consecrated touch
Coalescent flowers bloom
Amidst the star speckled beauty of impermanence
Disembodied spirits intertwine
Beneath the wilted astral foliage
We will harbor withered fragments of a momentary glimpse
Where the synapse and the spark converge
We will undress-
When you are sleeping
Still the wires are attached

From within the lightless cove, a memory
Buried in the garden of our childish thoughtlessness
Wet petals wither
In absentia
