Incense of Insomnia
With the incense of insomnia caffeine
and scorpion grasses of forget-me-nots
listening to the waters of Ticonderoga
and the bones cracking in my sacroiliac
regarding caffe latte tuit suite l'amande
with the incense of insomnia caffeine
Incense of Insomnia
With the incense of insomnia caffeine
and scorpion grasses of forget-me-nots
listening to the waters of Ticonderoga
and the bones cracking in my sacroiliac
regarding caffe latte tuit suite l'amande
with the incense of insomnia caffeine
~awakenings
i solitarily reap the uproarious sulphurous
tides, in childlike earnestness- this helichriss-al
‘now’, in it’s lengthening ever- a budding bitten
musky astringency- a nascent placental ‘time’
drinking down your nightly damp petrichor hop-
slides inner an aromatic bay of crisply sun-dried
throaty hay lands, in ‘musty metallic’ tuning fork
flutters -in sync with woody bittersweet vanilla lips
fuels my midnight, your sillage turpentine spirits
Midnight Tunes
Dancing clouds floated above
Intoxicating smoke curling in the air
From the incense of insomnia
Rose with midnight tunes
A lento slithering from the chime
To fill every hollowed nook
With the sweet-smelling fragments
Of bitter-echoing remnants
Whispering softly to lull me awake
Intoxicating smoke curling in the air
From the incense of insomnia
Rose with midnight tunes
A lento slithering from the chime
To fill every hollowed nook
With the sweet-smelling fragments
Of bitter-echoing remnants
Whispering softly to lull me awake
