Insatiably Saturated
the seepage into the matrix of the bone
the saturation of the nerves
the brain sweat
the dreams of static - caught between channels
then
the compatibility of the senses
the easy talk
the soft afternoons
the ease of knowing you are loved
the myriad that comes with all this
the dreams of being a sensitive monkey
then
the questions
the invariables start cropping up
the new information - not so new
the seeds of doubt begin to germinate ... slowly
so
work on the faith that she won't stalk you
pray she doesn't show up to the place of your employment
now off meds for 2 weeks
and came by
just to start an argument
in front of everyone
behaving like a wolverine-attorney
with claws and vicious remarks
then
the idea that this should never occur-
we need to dream with vigorous salt and vinegar
because dreaming makes things happen
the bone becomes less brittle
the nerves settle
the brain sings again
the best things are always half off
you have to work a little harder to take off the rest
love feeds an insatiable fire
a big orange caldron of hot swirling clouds of Jupiter's atmosphere persuasion
the feral nature of instant sex
sometimes ...
in a somnabolist's daydream
