Pair a Psychos

Melancholy midnight
And a half
Blue moon song
Full and rising
In a salmon colored sky
Soggy shadow
Draped around my shoulder
Like a feathered shawl
Cool and warm
All woven together
And sewn to my flesh
Like whip scars
On a dead slave
Hymeneal union
Like never touched
Except for the bruises
Used tissue I hand you
Paradigm paradise paradox
Pair a psychos in love
Splutter spirit all over
My toes and
Kiss it up to God
You are Mine
And I belong
To no one
Save God
I sneeze a miniature hurricane
And you smile
Even as you are
Blown away
Masonic lodge of secrets
Behind you eyelashes
Kiss me
Where flowers grow
And grass is red-brown
Like mud
White clay when it rains
I giggle butterflies
And you chuckle elephants
They leave footprints
In my soil
Strawberry wine that
Fizzes on your tongue
And disappears as you kiss me
Evaporated
Kiss my dark nipple
When it calls you
Reaching ever higher
Operatic juice oozes from
My pores and forms
Puddles of song in my crevices
The chill
Stirs me from my slumber
Soggy shadow
Slipping down my spine
Hanging to the small of my back
Unable to pass the hump
Of my bottom bump
Moonrays on my face
Gleam in my eye
Melancholy moment
Pair a psychos in love
