Measurements of a Kiss

When I kissed you Silk rolled out from spring's green mill Tinted with nervous sparks of morning glories Feathers fell from sunburnt clouds And trembled on snow's frozen laughter Foxes crawled out from throat's dark burrow Drenched in slippery rain of enslaved desires A serpent's cold tongue licked cerebral strings Playing desert's song of melting sandiness A dormant volcano erupted without warning Frightening gut's sleeping butterflies A wild horse galloped shaking its mane Trampling ripe plums on heart's palpitating meadow A rampaging train of bleeding pomegranates Transported iniquities of sweet bites It's needle troubled by bouts of feverish breathing Nose's compass forgot to navigate bearings Lips gave up guarding ramparts of decency And surrendered like defeated hermits In that chaos of enflamed infinity I sensed yards of blood racing in my veins And I measured your kiss With dreams inside a cuckoo's egg
