Contingency by Nicole Assenza play along my spine some elaborate ensemble of hands fingering keys familiar but never before having laid this tender touch upon uninvited tapping stores of hallucinations there still waiting to be delivered but no more I’ve already taken them from you just as you’ve unlayered me each one bringing tears and epiphanies like rainbows in the oil drop many-splendored thoughts of someone more toxic than you (are to yourself) all of this in the contingency of sleep these dreams the next day still stuck in your eye embarrassingly clear by your wandering mind (embarrassing for you) cool, blank, blue I’m only amused by your constant conundrums for me 01/27/2006 Posted on 01/27/2006 Copyright © 2024 Nicole Assenza Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Lacy D Phillips on 01/27/06 at 08:15 PM "like rainbows in the oil drop many-splendored thoughts" I really love that image.
