Smoke -

.

Salvia divinorum -

.

.

Violet asphyxiation,

.

Color,

.

Rouge and viridescence,

.

Billowing clouds

.

Of azure, and an interchange

.

Of pendulums, oscillating between 

.

The cerulean,

.

And the bloom and blossom

.

Of cataclysm, and of crimson.

.

.

The floor is lava, child;

.

It is an Escher illustration.

.

.

And as dauntingly long

.

As the hall might seem,

.

We all 

.

Must cross,

.

.

Choose

.

.

To either dance the pond-stones

.

With an arbitrary aimlessness,

.

To tread,

.

With a sovereign deliberation

.

And a quiet, dignified repentance

.

.

Or to dictate our own passage

.

By our own modus

.

Of movement, motion, 

.

Of toeholds and heartbeats

.

Amidst the navigation of a landscape,

.

A kaleidoscope, defined in its geometry

.

By refraction, by tessellation

.

.

And an endlessness in coincidence,

.

Of multiplicity and of variation.  

.

.
