Spinray Spiral Collage Poem

 

Open your eyes, you're looking famous and shameless. Like an astronaut undo your tiny drawstring, your green thing, your Susan B. Screw the consequences. Miles above the ground clouds are slowly rising. Everything is right.

Breathe in, breathe out, shake the drops off your skin, spread your fingertips of rose. We'll show them all how we can fly into the chromium flower of the night.You look invincible now. Look down below, you see yourself without a friend to hold your hand -- it's only you and me riding along with that big black dog on tail light railings up to the sky.

Whatever you do, touch me and I'll be ready to make it happen for you down the alley of the runaway beautiful world, where atomic silver moons all fall down into the big white light. If this is heaven -- pull me in, open me up, swallow me till I drown. We won't stop till everything's alive.
