Adjacent Realities

(who)

Is poem

(blooms)

Us awake

(as)

The creamy

Blue rain

Of sight

And sword

(dissolves)

Into the doors

Of adjacent realities

Ripe Peach

(each)

Of these lines

(tastes)

The holy

Blue streak

Of vision

(tasting)

Everything a poem was

(under)

The shape

Of her skin
