Acid by Vikki Owensit made the colors warp and swirl,
a drizzle of reality
into an ever finer mist
it made the walls
weep and moan
it pulled the edges out like
taffy in the
teeth,
i covered the white in
sheets of texture,
amorphous and sinewy
it comes in waves...
and over and over...
repeatedly..
seething.. 11/16/2009 Posted on 11/16/2009 Copyright © 2025 Vikki Owens
