Intermittent Vision

The abrupt rupture

of the limbs

                   and the elongated faces belonging to a mural:

a dream of superhuman abilities

as skin folds over   eyes and mouths.

Tattooed on the

       inside

the stars twinkle

across the dark of

       the body.

[this is not entirely uncommon

when seeding amanita ocreata:

0.1 to 0.5 incidence of

nausea, a feeling of coldness

more frequent.]

Intermittent Vision

In some cases, the skin

thickens & tightens;         u

     su

            ally,               the carrier over-

comes its own toxicity.

Cassandra dreams of

things foretold

but we lick the globe of her e

                                         yes

and suck the                   time

leaking from the cavities.

This is another incident of the machine.
