reeling as
the concussive
arcs race
in lavender
streaks pitting
the inside of
my hollow skull
random blackened
dots forming
the firmament of
my desperate pleas

fluctuating
between the gaps
in god’s crooked smile
seeking the
punchline in
cosmic inequity

a jacob’s ladder
of manic voltage
eroding eraser tips
with every single
second guess
refracted in the
ozone sizzling as
amethyst plasma
carves furrows in
my gelatinous truth
to trap moonbeams
swollen with sighs

each blink paints
watercolored halos
distorting the room
so i keep my eyes
tightly closed
all i see is you
dancing sublimely
among the fireworks
