Orange peelings (part I)

He sat me down
silk and satin pillows ran the span of everywhere
“just pull up a cloud of your own
or share a bed” he said

You have your recording instruments, yes?
referring to my notebook and pen
He asked me if I were ready?
“Are you open?” he asked, looking into my face from across length

“Yes I am prepared“
is what I verbalized
he then took my hand and opened it
he placed on my palm a crystal

Crystal northwest moon
I ran my fingers all over it’s ages
while holding all of its time
nothing could distract or distant
this beginning

I opened the door

The next day was that fast
fire glowed so quick it was all a blink
then a black switch
no stars
“but soon they will fly” he said

Again the cushions surrounded all the grass
all the wheat fields golden and windy
all the silk worms
farming against sunflowers and silver lakebeds
where shacks fill pleasurable desires
all sheltered by rusty tin roofs

The end table next to me
home of caged rabbit
eye level with me bird

I felt sorry for them
bird and rabbit

The lady on the floor
just loaded a dreamy needle
a strange shadow soon
when the rabbit gets jumpy

Every time

Tonight he said
“the drugs are growing for the future… each narcotic”

I was amazed by the rabbit's math skills
as his furry paw ran this calculator
adding and subtracting opium exchanges

Then the global toad
a striking figure
I was so lost … orange peelings
the smell of oranges

Writing the madness
I surrounded

he asked me
the colors
the sounds
and the silences

This is when I asked
for ink and said
“the glass bowl looks fun”

Five silk worms came through the door on pillows carried by diamonds
I was handed a root writing tool
rain for ink
he said “do not ever not have a pen, do you hear me?
And that is a warning.

    Shocked
    I could only listen
    new writing
    new words
    looking at the worms
    somehow the room stood still
    I couldn’t hear
    yet I was listening full
    I was growing
    I was getting up without

    Writing was told to me

    Letters from time to time
    did just that
    more like star to experience
    moon to pond expanding
    or marble to rolling
    it was all lubricated chaos
    like the lady on the floor with the syringe

    In some ways
    I believe I was forgetting myself
    leaving me behind
    I believe I stayed outside
    somehow I was absent while present, it was recoded.

    This explains the candlelit carnival
    this explains
    caged animals
    this explains
    my explanations
    my fears ready to be named
    one by one as instructed

    In the background
    a transparent pipe waiting on red silk
    a cat’s glass nap tower
    shining its treasured ship mast
    waving a rainbow box collecting
