Lament

love's aftertaste
from the centrifuge
of flushed toilets
marking it's spiraling descent
from the Perseids of highest heaven
to Davy Jones' locker
one can survive such an excursion
but some do not

we should meet again in a tiger's dream.

Thank you Kim, I was trying to blow things out of proportion as an experiment.
