Ad Nauseum

my sorrow bears
leaves of jacaranda
purple eyes the flower,


the fear,
a dank damp cloth of night
covered my face


smothering


the lust
that quivered 
a human lake


moving


a specter’s hands
stole Mercury’s face
of banality


together


the fear, 
of hands
that lust 


disassembled
