Translucent tattoos carving
scratching. Ink-stained
fingers searching.
Purple-feathered hearts
pounding. White breasts
quivering. Another mystic
misplaced in the throbbing
dawn of bloodless lust.
Capsules of greek mythology.
Spoonfuls of philosophy.
Lines of enlightenment.
Abandoned tree-houses groan
with decaying imaginations.
Forgotten shadows are cast
in solitary backyards.
And smudges of clouds are
nothing but graveyards
in the sky.
