I Sense

languid doldrums, swaying lanyard, sails hanging loose

  dreary small drums reverberate, neurons dumbing down

  nerve ends fuse, sunlit shadows depict my numbing frown

  feelings grind dull, thoughts stranded in the dangling sluice


  sudden intermittent draught, strengthening breeze

  mind and body free-falling, spontaneous pressure

  sinews stretch, skin on skin, pulsating probing pleasure

  senses tingle, tickling laugh, lengthening squeeze


  breathe in deep, sniff olfactory aroma drift

  gustatory tasting plates licked and tongued

  erotic amalgam squished and belly-bunged

  nostrils flare, exotic pungent odour whiffed


  cavort, canoodle, drooling lips, flavours of the beast

  rhythms rise where delirious frenzy can often be

  harmonic screaming near the edge of cacophony

  weave distorted images, dream-dancing above the feast


  fleers, seekers, washed-up innocent sinning on the beach

  subdividers and King Canute howling at the wind

  viral loads onboard, invisible invaders grinned

  collective cowardice casts the truth spinning out of reach
