Psychobabble
"Psychobabble"
She plants the seeds
in Her mind
through the
fathomless
oceanful wells
of Her eyes
saltwater falls
over the unchartered
sharp edges of
Her tight boundaries
to the playing fields
Elysian
where She waits
impatiently
in all Her glowing
warm-skinned dreams
black words turn
to gold, shining,
over every dark knight
like a beacon cornucopia
goat-horned overflowing
with flowers
the scent of Addison
a road lined with
pungent seductive
heraldic fleur-de-lis
tall stemmed beckoning
velvet petalled temptations
oriental lilies
intoxicating the sensate
Pandora Box Pink
luscious and unfurling slowly
exposing their long quivering stamens
taken by the sea's breeze
dusts the war table
with ochre
an addictive powder
taken and stained
in a memory
calling the girl home
outside the lines
of a protective circle
fringed by funereal
violet-blue, do not
She says, in short passing
conversation -
bring
Agapanthus
to the final
roll call.
The girl is drawn
witnessing it all
young eyed and ancient
in Her fattening wisdom
watching wet green
cold-skinned geckos
changing automatic colours
clicking tongues
they speak
to each other
in codes
climbing walls
watching
cracked eggs fall
they are dry skinned
with scales and
purely reptilian
terrestrial
Salamander
five digits
pink tongued
long-storied
on a prize wall
well hung
magic frog kingdom
moist-skinned
princes kissed
an hallucinatory
poison
necessary
at some point
in Her tears swim
amphibious and
indifferent
away from it all
like legless tadpoles
lacking experience
and the unnecessary
understanding
gratitude is swallowed
life begins again
outside the protection
of a circle
The girl is drawn
into a woman
in Her future,
A brief conversation
on the wall
Addison and
Psychobabble
geckos changing colours
clicking tongues
watching
cracked eggs
fall
Outside the tight
confined boundaries
of a protective circle
Codes
like blood
read
and well-written
on a wall
