Tread lightly
The man asleep, curled up in the doorway could be in
the middle of a very very prophetic dream
He wants to be wax
Climb him carefully
Listen to me
The afflicted will gift you in charcoal, ash and rust
One glance will inflict you voluptuous with its dusty stare that does not rub off
Come this way, you say
What a scream
What a scene laid out before me in blue moon neon
A silver-winged shimmer
A broken-toothed psalm
Burning gold leaf in a dead letter box
You are propped up on the elbows of an obsolete bone structure
Please excuse me

I am experiencing repeating phenomena with all these colliding strangers
collective particles
DNA and the flesh
the flesh is no firmament
the flesh is but a slow decay
