oceans floating in the sky with melted faces and screaming thighs
traces of naked backs and silent eyes
flashes of passion
he stares through the windows in the sand reminiscing images through an inverted telescope of chewed bubble gum
voices staining the transcendent sighs and embroidered time
he walks after whispers of unborn corpse
shadows of blooming obsession and drifting bubbles of broken cries
firestorms of mortal soles untangled footprints of albino nights
translations of sycophantic waves and unwritten vows
rootless mirrors of iconoclastic leaves between the seven days
fleeing flavor but everlasting bubble gum
swaying walls of infinity smeared in the sky with stampedes of masticated lies
symphonies of tangled tongues interwoven with singing silk
lost in somnambulant skin follicles and plastic wrappers
kaleidoscopes of teeth that never seem to pass and never seem to last
he waits upon hanging eyelashes
he nose only chiaroscuros of distorted flavors stripping remaining cells of unwritten nonsense and burns of unspoken toes
his burden is the ground
he argues with secret sounds of white butterflies trapped in black-prints of gastric acid and bubble yum
