Short Tesseract Poems

The hypercube cage
The Tesseract is its name
Unstable prison...

Out from the kaleidoscopic tesseract,  
Pours coruscating crystals whose edges contract.
A turn of the cylindrical vessel in the vain, 
Splits the sight into three of the eyes in the brain.
I talked to the man who says one times two is a dozen,
Not knowing which sense sometimes seems it doesn’t....

I wish you weren't apart of me
Traces of you flowing through my arteries
Deprived of essentials like a commodity
Wish you were someone who fought hard for me

be it

Cynthia moves for me in veiled slopes,
silver drops dance on her tender petals.

on scarlet waves before Aurora settles.
Cynthia moves for me in veiled slopes,
silver drops dance on her tender petals.
