Swollen Alibi

Like blue

Like ice cubed memories

Melting

Sheer fuse-lit rapture, abandoned

Feeling quantum

Feeling physics

Dry mouth

Staring up on a lavender flame

Maybe just a day without screaming

Here, in parallel-ology

Same 

Same classification

Same desperation

Turned in and then

Turned upside out again

Amps bleeding from the previous night

Vinyl melting

Then endless broke-up mornings

Rain

Coffee ringed delusions

Emptying my teeth through a motel drain

This time tuning in

This time to acknowledge it

How we beat the world down for diamonds

Trying to tame you for what is dead

Sell the moon’s insentient smile

Branded as a floating branch

On a trillion mark of trees

Born not of men nor by and by

But perhaps through critical matter

Or those hands in your swollen alibi

[D. Mansfield]

That is incredible, still pondering it all, but I l8ved it

[Perdition]

Oh…didn’t see this. Apologies but Thank you and yes some acid trips pan out more creatively than others.. chuckling . Very sincere appreciation and smile~

[D. Mansfield]

When I tripped on acid, I never had pen and paper, and I'm pretty sure the world is a better place for it. Lol

[Perdition]

They would have both been monsters in the night.. lol. I tried once but wrote a novel instead and come up to the morning with “Naked Lunch” Burroughs..hahaha. thanks and 🙏🏻

[Daz]

Great writing here. It's very well crafted from beginning to end.

[Perdition]

Well, thank you for your kind words and for stopping by and reading my Picasso cubist run off of what the..?..lol...Much appreciated.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ok this is indeed one of those poems that each reader has to read, fel and interpret. For me I saw Keith Richards on a bender while on tour with the Stones!

[Perdition]

Well, that's just the way we roll Mate ..cough..cough..gotta keep the Mick in Minstrel-ville if ya know what I'm saying...hahaha.cough..cough...lol. A better review I couldn't have wanted. Thanks, John!

[Arundass TP]

An attractive good poem. Loved it

[Perdition]

I seem to be missing all the reviews for some reason as of late...? Well, nothing to do but move onward and up. Appreciated!!

[Ken e Bujold]

coffee delusions ... seeing as i haven't made it as far as the kitchen yet this morning ... this mad man's romp (poem or review i leave to you to decide) through the parallel-ology might read a bit disjointed. Only one eye ball fully functionary at this moment, and ears still a bit stoppered. joint's swollen, though not so much i can't function enough to recogonize a grand poem when it spills across my lap.

[Perdition]

Nothing quite so grand as those early coffee delusions Ken... as far as I can tell all of your reviews have been on the ledge between insight and poetry and who but us mad men would offer any less or any more. Kind enough to just lay down your thoughts on this crazy page. Honesty in every review I'd hope, but perhaps simply a kind poush to a rambling fool like me..lol. Thank you, Ken, truly an honor just to have your masterful and thoughtful words!!

[Alexa Apothic Red]

Wow, this is superbly crafted. I loved all of your intensely rich and vivid visuals!! Great writing; well done!

[Perdition]

Oh come on, give me the real of it ;) So just kidding..always grateful for the visits and input so Thanks. Looking forward to returning to read yours as well. Happy Friday!
