Array ( [sid] => 8165 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Somewhere In Between [time] => 2002-12-07 02:20:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => -Night-

I fell into a purple pond
eyeballs aglaze in green
to black surfaces sticky
and tubes slickering frenzy
dropped fresh through delicate breezes
crushed ice over rainbow spectrum drums
whirling

-Day-

My mouth was mint
in the instant I woke
outside, the cock crowed.
Twice.
And sunlight slashed
my bedroom. Slowly
I blinked myself
conscious.

There followed a normal day on the farm.

-Night-

I sink.
The last thing I see is
my ceiling
swirling in circles
deep crimson and regal felt candles
melting round a centre.

swirled around
a whirlpool, white breakers
crashing
stomach flies up as I drop down
heart in my mouth
stripes of yellow on walls of bone
to black to blue
to sudden stars
exploding
I am floating
Turning
Groaning
in Ecstasy
or Agony

or Something in Between.

-Day-

Staggering out of bed
hoisting the Levis
Ten cows to milk
and eyelids like lead

-Night-

Hm. I like this
female flesh
caressing in every direction
Turning to leaves scraping
blown scratchily
through revolving windows

I lose my legs
Arms
Head &
soar in pieces
to vast diamonds shining
telling me
my one true name.

near flattened by grey jello
I wake in a sweat.

Crawling for my
underwear
Visions still whirling
everywhere.

-Day-

Too many pigs
to hatch today.
Should that horse
really be green?

My feet sink in the sawdust
by my chair.
oil stains creep across
my bench in technicolour swirls.
My homemade bread moulders
on the plate in patterns of blue.

Turning,
I swear the sun just
winked a wicked wink
through my workshop window.

Turning cobwebs to gold.

Outside in the orange heat
a warm breeze sweeps
the wheatfield.

Waves in an unseen sea.

Tiny spores swirl intricate in the wind.

Paisley patterns dance in the shiny air.
