drug cloud effluvium 2


at finding my insides a conical waste,
unfettered and zealous, I strolled deep into flames
in jungles of obesity and anticlimactic falls
the auras of her spells instantly dissolve
and all of the noises his bloated coffin gave
removed what remained, inside
velvet smoke culled like a viper
exhuming its prey
now hobbled crutches sway at the prow 
(ship of gold holding more blue than the sea)
inhaling drops of silicon through the heated chemical rain, 
melting
praying for this specter to absolve 
even as it was forgiven in Eden, 
now blue and useless 
buried in clouds
