Last Sleepwalk


Oblivion walks upright,
flashes teeth or atomic credit,
pulls you close in fists of dosed exposure,
feels you flinch

as the body rises through clinging abyss
slowly, shedding skins of tortured cruelties
to become one, stronger, more positive energy
as it slams into merged light inside the mind and spirit

and there is final struggle,
a fusion of feeling that outlasts
creation's swaying permutations -
consciousness realigned, love revealed.
