limbs grow alien spines and his pen begs for silence by breaking its nip
his thoughts stain the walls neon and unfamiliar bones argue with furniture
pilgrims shave heads and burn braids in great bonfires on the border
rain erases the horizon as goats graze on thunder
a cosmic echo sways the monolith shifting the equilibrium of worldly balance into chaos
existence leaks raw and spills forth like pollen from the randy flora of paradise
signposts come alive and curse at your existence
camels with chimney humps spew smog and drink from the shadow of sands
thirst learns your name and taunts you
