    I know I love you;
    My stomach is turning and,
    I have a fever.
    Unless, of course, it's typhoid,
    It's so hard to tell sometimes.

    Your thoughts live in me
    Converge with mine. Mind tunnel
    Walls, meeting your light
    At the end of my darkness.
    Diversity unifies.

    The shades are drawn taut.
    A silence of dark unease;
    The mental battle.
    Certain death is upon me,
    And yet here I still remain.

    Holding your breath underwater
    "Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house, they are company and don't let me catch you remarking on their ways like you were so high and mighty."

    Bubbles bleed upwards,
    I keep count: ninety-one, ninety-two ...
    The record is close;
    Bursting gasping and coughing,
    From the pool; alas too soon.

    Could always do this.
    Opening my eyes was hard.
    Lying on the floor
    Blind world of stifled movement
    Alone. A kind of freedom.

    She grew up learning
    To read Jane feverishly
    By it's prism-light;
    Warped Zinnias, water-stained.
    Rain river dips, hesitates.

    I laughed at my pain
    Fractured glass, littered carpet
    Sliver hit my arm
    Sliced a thoroughfare through flesh
    I laughed at the lack of blood.

    Chocolate flakes on
    Lettuce, tomato, basil;
    Add a french dressing;
    Not to everybody's taste,
    Not really to mine either!

    Heavy as a frown
    Time squeezes by grudgingly;
    Paid to brave chaos,
    And wipe noses of other
    People’s Pride and Joys.

    Skyscrapers, yellow
    Helicopter blades static
    On the helipad
    Bending in the wind. Natures
    Heliocentric structures.

    It burns my mind's eye,
    more than it scorches my tongue.
    Still, I am tempted,
    now, to take another bite
    of red chillies in the pan.

    Nowhere, Beloved, will the world be but within us.
    Our life passes in transformation.
    And the external shrinks into less and less.

    I twist the leash tight,
    Around my hand; this mongrel beast,
    Pulls so forcefully.
    Still, who am I to keep him,
    From a pedigree in heat.

    Nose and eyes battle
    With vital fertility;
    A days undoing,
    An unraveled mood drowning
    Midstream of Spore River.

    Bird puffs his round cheeks
    Dark suit, dark shades, smoke filled room,
    Dizzy nods his head
    Horned rimmed glasses slide.
    Salt peanuts they chant.

    Stuck on Imagine,
    I'm traveling slow this time;
    Taken in by false
    Calm, fake castles; stillness of
    Morning still finds its way here.
