An Elephant In Must

There’s peril in the signage,
                          yet visitors 
enjoy the turbulent black sea. 
                      A benign lust 
 grows malignant in chains.
                      The elephant 
thrusts at the ground with
                        its tusks, as 
though saving itself from the
                   violent voltage 
current. It hurls its trunk up 
                   the sky amidst
a thunder  as the loudest 
                           slogan of
 protest in the universe.
                          It doesn’t
need a calendar. A mahout
                           can never
conceal its honeymoon season.
                  A lunatic liquid
flows down the side of its 
                             head like
the lava of suppressed love. 
                      Hormones of 
creation are wasted in the void.
