Thou
—by Gardiner M. Weir


my love is like a mundane exposition
that sprouts and sprouts and sprouts
propagating buds like tissue cultured
crowngall on the backs of my eyelids
a loaf of bread.

van goghian scabs erupt in sin
and pseudopodic strings of pearls
chasten her funnel tapered phallop
on the back of my eyelids
a flask of wine.

play on in your cubic muse stars
play on for meteors dip their tails
of fire in nucleic acid beds
nighted on the back of my eyelids
a book of verse.

electron transfer systems chase the hydrogens
along in terminal oxidations
a carotene an ascorbate and cytochrome forsee
the doom on the back of my eyelids
thou!
