Pursuing
Gravitational escape,
Uncoupling from carbon and
Density disengagement
I take a spin
Into the nonlocal, non-prescriptive
Ether of all,
And nothing,
Where …
Burdensome material matters
Submit and surrender
To lustrous, limitless particles,
Tinted with tangerine.
Piece by pixel,
Gluons and muons
Meet and blend and occupy one another
Without a crash or clash or arduous effort;
The auburn dusted soothsayers displacing
Hard, undeviating, timeworn objects.
With covert gusto they confound and eradicate
Doubt, illusion and creative crushing vibes
As I f-l-o-o-o-o-o-w
Into orangey clusters of clay pots over kumquats
And deep amber spreading like wild honey into
Dreamy, drippy Creamsicles.
Suggestive scents of honeysuckle and orange blossom
Spellbind and tantalize me
Into emancipating trances
As I write my carrot-colored stanzas of
Words and rhymes and knowings
Amidst the singsongy,
Mouth-watering
Chiming of a D note
Swaying in the wind.
