Thursday Poem on Monday...
[gave my thesis presentation on last Thursday. it went well. here's a poem cause i skipped the one I would have posted that day.]
Untitled (15)I saw you, sister, as you dissolved, dithering, under my microscope in a pool of saline solution dripped from on high by obscure celestial digits –
As you navigated your chemical obstructions and expanded inward, away from the strongest sources of black light –
As your misshapen cells retracted and recoiled, sucking membrane and empathy into deep spirals –
As you shrank from my sight completely, leaving me wanting in the wake of your unfinished auras.
I saw you once more, sister, as I cast about with near-blind eyes into the perpetual ceiling of the night sky, finding for myself your figure strewn among the constellations –
As you rode bareback along nebular corridors with cold eyes, cause you’d rather not come undone at multiple angles, unnerving and crowded with come in doubt –
disenchant me now I say for sooth for you for play for gone and fold me in you gently yawning maw –
resonate you now I pull a tooth, for on this sill I sit and spill
my juices –
so quaint we’ve darkened our last door and quibbling vanished at the
breath of us –
give a mild lip to the former lovers in our dreams, panting and weaving through the Sistine sepulcher, finding pleasure in these ancient moments bound tight with twine and desire –
at last, I watch you as you drift between Castor and Pollex and lose yourself, as if our existence was merely opaque memory.
