Unmentionable

Keep my eyes open…

            Creaking as you pry.

I still am ignorant to the taboo.

And, the savagery, I dare not describe.

Another pair of entryway eyes

Scan the landscape

            Resemble a tan, shaven savage skull

And as my toes

sink

subtly

into the sandy grain,

my eyes float

over every

ocean

wave

rolling back into my head.

            Absorbing insight from my lack of sight.

It’s dark.  Midnight black.

Voluptuous women dance

around a fire circumference.

                        Peering over the ledge.

Volcano.  Eruption.

Lava flowing locks.

            Entangled in each strand.

The compass – my lifeline.

Twisted & wound up

the wrong way.

Gaily snickering at the sparkling style of savagery.

Amoral vivacity

hung around

my neckline.

You’ve solved the

unpredictability.

           

We watch as they

                                                launch

at each other’s throats…

Keep your eyes closed.
