"Mother’s Milk" I don’t know - what would you have me say? Life is a gourmond perfume rolling along on the notes of air intoxicating musk a jubilee music you breathe and reign in words lactonic heaven scent stimulating the beginning and the end in synaethesia the let down presents succelent life, a moment brief and swift a hint of warm peppered cinnamon with gunshot sparks recalcitrant pink a straight shot from the heady accord first off hard points from mother’s breast rouge the plot we drink it all in life is the sweetest illusion bittersweet and burnt bent we are all drunk to it; before we begin, we begin again, we are swallowed large into this small life like an unknown mystery karmic charms chime in fragrant and infragrant notes recalcitrant journeys roads less taken sweet and bitter almonds we hear the distant bells chime we sign off reluctantly to only begin it all again Candide Diderot. ‘25
