Taken from above



I remember the night
I was taken up in the bright lights
And the sights I was shown
Let me tell you

It started on a moon spoon spun walk
Deep within the Rustling leaves
Of free feeling forest trail
An escape from the city and it’s insanity
It’s incessant wail
Running from the raving road warriors
And their immoral lunacy
The bootlickers in their high school click mentality
Trying to hide in a mother’s warm womb
Primal elements in their rough wind
Watered laced embrace

So I did it
Went on isolated fire foray
Deep dark sillowetted wilderness jaunt
Just me and the leaves
Me and the furry friendly animal brethren
The soft chirp of avian haven

And then when serenity
Had settled itself into aching abused flesh
Calmness into battered bruised soul
It happened under contemplative sky
Star silvered lucid acid fry

I was taken
Kidnapped
Like a small child in a park
I was hoisted by blinding light
So bright I lost my sight
So filled with fright
I had no fight
Weak as a kitten
Wrapped so tight
Wrong fit better then right
And this is what I saw

I was strapped to metallic hard smooth surface
Ankles, wrists, throat, chest
And waist
I was so scared
My desert dusted mouth
Held a bitter taste
And then it came
The prodding and the poking
Robotic limbs stripped of flesh
Whirling and swirling in jointed jerky movement
Poking and prodding in places
I didn’t even know I had places

But it didn’t altogether feel uncomfortable
It rode the line between pleasure and pain
Like a hollow tube off a curl lip
In a break shore ride
Like a blood pumping lunar leering
Heroin high
With the downside sticking
sweet sadness inside the madness

Then like a Polaroid flash
When your eyes have spoken past
I saw them as I lay there
Bare to all they could do
Would do, should do
They showed themselves
Sleek like mercury
Sturdy like steel
Beauty in the canines
Protruding from luscious lips
Sexiness in the cartoon curvatures
Of their thighs
The ballooning voluptousness
Of their breasts
And the sultriness down low
Glistening sweat

And they made me salivate
Aroused me like a bullet shooting a barrel
A clown painting a smile
A back licking a whip



But this is where it turns hazy
Where my memory chews holes
Sucks the shadowed veins

But I’ll have to say
the image that tongue licked lipped my eye
In that final snapshot
That flurry in fortuitous visionary view
Leaves no question
No stone unturned
I had a doozy of a time

And when my eyes snapped open
I saw déjà vu leaves rustling
Moon spoon spun creek bed bustling

And I knew I had experienced the unmentionable
Tasted the unforgettable
And I would never see it again

I walked funny
I walked funny
For two weeks to the day
And every night went to bed
With a big fat grin
