"The Salivating Few.”

“the body of solid blue,
My Prayer, that I;
might clean away the rust,
in the crevasses, in the hinges, of my sick soul;
come, with God and Gold and Pearl,
make them blue once;
with holy water,
come, peel away His hot eyes;
abrase my skins...
praise my sin...
see the sea shell charms,
compare me, collect me;
boil red dinners,
for which I indulge;
and barter, the pearls that sat,
upon a satin pillow, inside my ribcage;
Brass -- Violence --
ghost sheets and halos —
winds and wallops,
a white sea;
laced by quantum oil spills,
shaken injured sparrows;
prayers, flutters and ash -
the rush, of purple - winged shadows,
that strobe light knuckles;
to Deliver From Evil,
place upon packed clay;
a cell that ticks –
submit to the vertical bind,
Eden, serpentine wrists and spine;
to stay is a question, an enemy,
built on the backs of atoms;
building, Eve's spare bones and ribs,
how to escape,
She Knew...
she flew...
not, from pride, but from friction,
the searing orgasm of resistance;
she dove - dived downward,
anticipating the raging ground;
the Light illuminated,
the love lucid loss;
leaving, the bliss of the blind."
