For there was nothing mightier than
your mind, bending mine
to fit its infinite variations
on an infinite theme. Unfathomable,
but only half so cumbersome as the sea.
When awash in what you jam down my brain-stem,
I take a breath.
Against the mindless smack of jellyfish blooms
propagating in left-behind spaces of
a thought overfished by nerve-netted locusts.
Pink clouds stalk seaweed forests
raining rational venom.
Swim, hard upon the current.
Breach membranous seas.
And wonder:
are these the moons, the lions,
the cannonballs?
This, logos' swarm sent outward.
Your knowledge burns
cover my body and sting things I neglect to know.
In holding back, a buoy between us.
