VERBATIM

Can you come outside of you? 

The dream inside a dream 
of the show. It must go on. 
For prudence of plucking 
from singularity of indifference, 
of mooning. 

Once upon a moon in timeless moon 
a green snake entered the moon 
existing in a personal poison. 

The pink, the yellow, the mauve 
lilies, in a circle 
going anti-clockwise 
to dig out a black panther 
in grass. 

Of conjugal loyalty 
in a fresco, when 
color will not penetrate 
the wall; 
that wall – 
remained dirty!
