Finger Exercising

[i_dread]

come inside my soul
count the sunlight bending

across my eyes
the rays are reaching out
setting fires with every glance

without reason
it's west, my vision sails
staring at the green
of the grass
pulling over like an ocean
spilling on top of itself

kick my addictions
like shooting stardust
as photosynthetic heroin

let the blacken spoon reflect
soot pooling
don't let me wallow
as I fade to dust
like an eeirily placed pond
waves shaking my hands
as I strike again
like an errant Bic flame
melting this
natural dope

so I ask
throw eucalyptus leaves
as blessings
rub my grave camphorous
scenting unhealed
my needle marks
the moon has pierced
where it hurts
to soothe

a taste is
evaporating bitterly
from my tongue
controlling Orion's
dimensions become

three pennies operatic
one candle lumin of mars
regressing, as the pull
weighs around earth
left spinning alone

I'll hold the gondela's rudder
as the streets canal
my eyes vacate watery
under the glaze of dope
the boat points straighter

fixated breaths dialate
so thanatopsis
3 days rigor
my mortis smells
like almonds
and cyanide hills
buried, years before

I ever wrote
