that pinprick of light
pointed onto eyelids,
already a headache begun,
why was the sun so bright,
why did i drink so much vodka,
attempting to keep them shut
scratched fuzz on my stomach,
the sun should not be so bright,
obstinately opened eyes one then
other,
crazy reaction as if all
bipolar and horizontal cells
told the cortex,
what i had seen yesterday was shit
color so enhanced,
beyond glass sky surreal
clouds detected as moisture atoms
that if caught would dissolve in your palm,
clammy not from heat,
but a deep nausea,
everything carried on the axons of retinal
ganglions was transformed,
remembering Suzy,
bedclothes, sheets , cotton,
weave so visual looking as if to crumble
at a touch,
Suzy on her stomach face and breasts
pressed flat,
bare flesh across her spine seemed like
canvas ,a tarpaulin to fold and place away
everything had changed,
what drugs did i use last night,
irregular breathing
even my senses had altered
hard floorboards became springy
as if sap flowed through them again
not caring i was naked at the window,
wanting to be outside,
summer was at its height,
kids played at the hydrant at the end
of the street,
grass a blanket to be rolled,
earth molecules under compressed
could dissolve and turn to dust,
no rain for two weeks,
everything had become garments
on this planet,
removable interchangeable,
air tasted of sky particles
elemental pieces tingling tongue
pollution sour,
could i feel lightning
as it burned in my stomach
acid thunder rumbled,
could i project light beams
that was silly,
lying down
cortex overloaded,
sky lowered to face,
some fragrances carried
as particles caught and molded into
balls,
if i spat would it rain
torrents pouring from my mouth,
occipital lobe altered again,
having become an ultimate being
not afraid of my earth anymore,
i raised grayer clouds
so they could pour over me
so that i too became a garment
of the earth.
