Someplace Else

A falling star met butter fingers, kissed the pavement rain, scorched threadbare pocket cloth, dream vapour in the wet. Dark smoke was all it brought to dreary eyes of pain, and tears crept with sloth ancient as the sky. Fresh bile around the grilles, steaming sweet purgation, foretell a future day by entrails of clairvoyance. A seeing eye fulfils my blind imagination, all cats by night are grey, analogous charcoal shapes. Someplace else, another room, where I can spread like plague, or go unnoticed, lean old driftwood on the bar. Sometimes you leave perfume, a promise bloused and vague, to linger sight unseen, I sling my hook to home... ...where you supplant the reasons, a spell invoked and blissed, to conjure my induction, becalm my raging sails. My angel for all seasons, components sorely missed, in spite of this reduction, no less my world, my love.
