Julio, Come To Me

I'm in a hospital room 
for something. 
Head trauma? 
The doctors are feeding 
me these pills. 
Except, they're not 
doctors, 
they're these, you know 
cosmic beings 
stalking from the corner 
of this dusty 
Hexagon. 
What I thought 
were pills 
I now know 
are the vital 
crystals of  
endoenlightenment. 
I clasp them with 
my hand 
and crunch them 
with my teeth. 
Except, they're 
not my teeth, 
or my hands, 
but flowing  
orifices 
projected by my 
very frightened 
and disillusioned 
left ventricle. 
Thump, thump, thump 
goes my left 
cremaster muscle. 
It creaks to life. 
  
I am now peeling 
from the walls 
of the open 
cavity 
of a vivisected 
ideology. 
  
Julio, come to me. 
Bring me my insulin drink.
