Magnets collide, poles pushing

each other apart, each half

of the brain doing the same, crashing

the front of a car, red, burning

into a wall rhythmic & repeated

Ramming into the bricks bleeding

at the joints, the car is redder now,

my medulla love oblongata tending

the sails aloft & blossoming outwards

in a kiss-filled driving wind; Will, shining

phallus of a female reading portents

in the moonscape of a cloudy night

Rising like death in a gas chamber

ambles with six legs of an arachnid, the carver

of slumber into nightmarish waltzes with familials

Jaws yawning & you

reflected in the epi-glottis

hanging in the cavern of the throat

where words ring pealing like awakenings.

Under this heat-maddened sky

of language & commerce, donkeys rot

next to pye-dogs that rule

the streets of days & night

howling into forms that manifest

suspended over above our beds like rain

frozen in a pause

a blink, each moment flows

in a circuitous emblem

designed to signify this immersion of senses,

a vice grip keeping the head down, breath

is all you can take, the mercury falling,

your abdomen a lilting cadence

the beginning song rustling through imaginary leaves

on trees festooned with glowing cups

ripe swords, sun-kissed winds

& lush pentacles.
