An acquaintance hovering over my head, Enlarging my negatives with curtained cameras The photographic chamber of the eye. Talk was inconsequential Magnifyng messages with mere monosyllables Chemistry created confusion, compounds defying comprehension Though we created chemical bonds through synchronous breathing. Your definition of nudity was the portrait of my landscape A long winding spiral staircase, an intricate labyrinth Surveying contours and summits of savannas, peaks of elevated plateaus Like Magellan, circumnavigating continents, but with a canvas of chartreuse. Knees jutting up like icebergs, coral rocks floating in a sea of kelp Unwinding pubic hairs like unfolding bridges into your towns Sand smeared legs stretched as two points fused to form a 60 degree angle. Indiscreet statisticians, with brushstrokes that computed The cartesian coordinates of the clitoris, fingers as Protractors measuring the perpendicularity of the penis. Thoreau's Walden and the correlation of nature to character traits You raided and resided in virginal territory, unadulterated, untarnished by toxicity Shorelines which hadn't slept with syringes, saturated mountaintops of sewage. I dream in pure viridian, its deeper shade of piety and prayer While rehearsing catechisms and chanting meditative mantras I used to be a cynic of astrological assumptions, And now I was mapping the nanoseconds of our planets' alignment Our colliding constellations were prophetic predictions of oracles' Foreshadowed fate, as we were green foliage springing From each other's beds of fertile vegetation, it felt like Deja Vu, shunning premier shows and art gallery openings Our paintings privately portrayed against picturesque backdrops Perhaps this was predestination.Birth sign: Not entered
