My tomb is a spaceship
cruising through gold channels
and silver streams,
wrapped in webs of lesser caverns
that snapped as it passed,

my body laced with psychedelic nails
meant for my coffin that was
a liquid pill, suspended from clouds
that carry grueling memories, the gone
shells of the man that I was.

Peacock skirts for the ghoul,
my dancing effigy, bronze eyes
and blue hair for blonde faces,
all sliding down a waterfall
of metal tongues.

Moss-cloaked rocks in the stream bed
where I dropped my house keys,
linen dolls in lines strung on dead
electric cords, slime on wires
leading back to scheduled days
that were mine and now
move no bones.
