a baby laughs
in the darkest eyes
in sewer drains
lay fireflies
I smack my drums
to a staggered beat
strip the skin
and tear the meat in two


a walk became
a desperate crawl
the sun exploded
and tore open the sky
as I ascended
my last look home
the final sight
burned into my soul
fall asleep on a big doorstep
and circle 'round the moon
watch languid putrefaction usher
mystic beauty into bloom

chrysanthemum of conception
humming while it spins
every flash, arising,
environs all that lives
