Collaboration Poem by Space Cadet and Darren White

Ambiguous beds,
my drowsy youth,
like warm, Bermuda fairways
and greens.
My back on this bed,
thoughts roam,
hands gesture and write
words in the air —

A window to watch
clouds in the day,
moonlight on the grass,
stars on clear night.
Particles of sun
on moonlit nights,
synesthesia colours
each sentence.

I bite my nails.
Helps caress,
soothe my psychosis,
paranoid of whether I can replace myself again.
This poison
invades my speech and thought —
I push it away
with poetry.

After repair, we'll tear down these curtains
of oblivion, clean the bedskirt,
change our address,
move this cedar book case
to an attic of a different Victorian house.

This book goes with me,
to a freshly mowed lawn,
to read on my back,
in the moonlight,
in fragrance of grass.
