Acid Test
A Poem by

Acid Test
Was it a sorcery? In broad daylight, you snatch away the echoes. Now I am shodowless. Walking on toes. I reach the pit. Bluebells. From a precipice, I bend down to hear the divine music. A dumper picks up the foreign traveler, hot iron. I become a refugee. Talking of non-violence, you become violent against the poppies. The drugged apostate wants to live in lesser space than a mouse. Rainbow becomes dark. Colors singe the eyes ignite the psyche.

What a long strange “trip it’s been” a line in a song by the Grateful Dead.

Once again SV, wonderful imagery; surreal mystery.

Hello, Satish! :)
I think I sort of get a meaning to this, but I'm not sure, it turned at section four.
I really liked the line - "you snatch away the echoes."
Thanks for sharing.
