Poem: 'Aquatic Encounters Under The Dark Moons'

 

AQUATIC ENCOUNTERS 

UNDER THE DARK MOONS/ 

GLACIAL BLUE NEUROSIS 

IN THE FRENCH QUARTERS 

Luna blue flares give aquatic guises 

to submerged deserts, 

plastered on light it melts me in delicious numbers. 

Bearing strange fish thru the French quarters 

eyes lisp smoke in throb-runs, 

they spark with delicious guises 

of dark neurosis. 

Luna blue sparks of glacial flame 

melt me in lisping smoke 

bearing strange aquatic numbers, 

dark forms borne thru submerged throb-runs 

in the guise of delicious deserts. 

Fish eyes plastered on blue flame beat 

thru the strange Luna guise 

of the French quarters, 

submerging me in the aquatic neurosis 

of melting deserts. 

Glacial eyes melt in blue 

lisping sparks of Luna smoke, 

bearing delicious neurosis 

thru the aquatic dark of the French quarters
