wanting nothing more
than to crawl inside forever
wrapped in the dreaming of black silk
pinpricks of finelined shining
rotate at twist of tubing
ocular spinning
responsive landscape
whim is law
wish is
become reality
twitch of thought trembles beneath
benign shift
glass plates slide
track and set
rest and roll
curtains close

intermission

emerge gleaming
new skin sparkles
mucous in mornings light
time dawns
the stage clears
decomposition
reincarnation
mercury meld of mind and spirit
birth and death
meet as hands join
clutter of clatter
din
empty house falls about the passing of empires
condense
contract
universe shrinks to a fineline point
scatters
creation shines out a pinprick in the fabric
stretched taught
seeding the future
feeding off the past
begging for release
wanting nothing more
than to crawl inside forever
