Optical Ablution
by Laura DoomThe moon is full of itself tonight
and there is mewling in the air;
my flesh crawls through
a crevice, no wider
than your soft-pawn smile.
Bereft of my pallid, venereal legacy
I dance in deviant, whorlish cycles
settiing a trail of post-pneumatic,
katabatic mumurs, confident
that no one is more
or less significant
in the dread of night.
An over-modified sky
consummates the ritual; I am bound
to seek redress, to untie
strings and celebrate this gift
of wanton amphigouri. 05/23/2009 Posted on 05/22/2009

that no one is more
or less significant
in the dread of night
will stay with me, pondering somehow upon its own undeniability, catching me unaware again, again
