Sacrificial LIZARDS drink the painted dwarves
Hearing chirping laughter under darkened house
Swim in venom
And Wait . . .
Because the lights are foggyand wet in the desert
Cloaked woman with no face leaps softly from the tortoise back and continues swinging from silk curtains with growing flowers wrapped around them
Smelling LIKE PANCAKES, THE FLOATING PANCAKES on which we ride
But so HIGH, we must be careful
We come to rest on a tree, and the doorOPENS
So I step out of the cloud onto a lava flow
And cool off. Who are these strangePEOPLEaround me? The purple ones with lily white hair Are they afraid of the purple people eater? I saw it flying above us, in the dirt
So I hang there, UPSIDE DOWN
And open my eyes.
