Yellow String Beings
First Contact
This is it
That balmy realm
A dimension accessible only through loss of self and heightened consciousness
Where I meet primary yellow aliens; or, rather, they meet an extraterrestrial
I still don’t know their name
What’s it been? Two or three times?
Maybe four if I count the account of the encounter by a friend
A shared dream must make it a reality
(No, I don’t think it means WE should be)
Here it is
That misty elevation
A portal for first contact dissolving into repeat performances, stage fright and hesitation
Where I greet mustard yellow string beings; or, rather, they greet a water sack of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen
I still don’t know their name
They don’t know mine
What’s it been now? Two or three times?
Perhaps four if I count the account my son encountered of unmellow yellow yarn things
A shared curiosity abounds, which might make this a reality
There it was
That singular vastness
An astral plane made manifest in the corner of my soul’s mind and shimmery sliver of the universe
Where I piqued swirling vortices of xanthic yarn squiggling round and round while simultaneously bobbing up and down
I guess that movement helps them keep their form
Will a fourth first contact spurred by loss of mortal sense against space time break the rift?
Because for now all they do is gyrate on the edge of a gray cliff

I swear I was reading about string beans, took a while to see BEINGS. I swear I am still not sure. Really mystifying great poetry.
Whoaaa, this was so deep and mesmerising!

So cool! I really felt the stream of consciousness flow to this. I liked the repeating lines and the slight changes each time. Well done!!
What a poem! Wacky yet interesting!
