Rivulets of Dragon’s breath.
Molten lava warms rapt veins,
Melting sickness unto death;
Floating through the astral planes.
Ultraviolet gouasche skies;
Scattered clouds of crushed tinfoil;
Infrared stars dripping dyes,
Glittering hot bornite oil.
Joy baptized in latex balm:
Heaven’s bubbling catalyst!
Wheels of fortune in the palm
Of the Grand illusionist.
Fibre optic feathers hoist
Third eyes on a peacock’s tail.
Poets’ pineal gland’s moist
With endorphins from the Grail;
Poisoning the heart of pain.
Blind emotions disavow
Their tyrannical campaign:
Nod bound opium is Tao.
