Faces poke

the haze
l i n g e r
and in a flash
fade away
They peer
d

n
vitreous
like fleeting images
from a reverie
in the last continual b l i n k .
before daylight
They
dive
sink
pierce
the viscous layer
analogous to a placenta-
only more picturesque
Muffled voices and
broken strings of words
tease the sensory breakdown
s e n s u o u s l y
All attempts at movement
are cut short
the kinetic curfew
being seemingly adamant
Childhood memories come
g

with
bright silhouettes
laughter
swaying fields
A stone is dropped
into the pregnant lake
P l i n k
it says
before being lost
in oblivion
as the water
swells with secrets
The pigeons coo
in post coital bliss
The dying rose shines
its diamonds
and the new born sun
sheds its lethargy
A hand caresses
as I watch
myself
revolving in trance-
a tranquil frenzy
like a
swirling Sufi dervish
A voice calls out my name
a distant whisper
A supernova bursts
and I sink into
s p a c e
The low song of the sea
tantalizes me
an avlanche of imagery
blasts the embankment
The caterpillar

and the rusted iron gate
creaks into motion
A liquid touch
followed by scalding coldness
and more muffled voices
overlapping with
the screaming silence
weave a tale
I can't quite decipher
Someone slices the silence-
a hazy figure
in monochrome
The sun explodes a touch away
in an oriental hum
I smile
while being showered in
tangible beams
lost in the continual realm
of reality and dreams
Realization dawns
and a sheet blocks the world as
I
fritter
fight
get freed
rise
above the white sheet-
permeated with the stench
of innocent stupor
peals of laughter
flimsy balls of fur
filtered shards of light
A tug and
a silvery reflection
The lost umbilical chord
Phoenix deconstructed.
