Black

And then you said
the black is back
in me

but you don't know
how black this black can get
when it begins
serpentine from the eyes
curlicuing
from my orifices
a noose
around the neck of my spirit
snapping

a flat line

but not the flatline

it the pause
before the scream
that inflates
suffocating
clocks to death

black
as music from a carousel
sung
to a brightly lit
empty carnival

it is this
when in the midst of your hearty laughter
i laugh with you in Aminor
can you decipher

you are far gone
high on serotonin
and i pant
for dear life

in as quick
as a ticki free fall into drishti
Alice down the tunnel
mayday the unlucky wind rider
sadness scratching skin
-- fingernails of a rape victim's
angry ghost --
wishing for something
as definite
as tangible
as concrete
to splatter
all this black
against

CHAI
