I awake to a mystery,
walking along a majestic sea of crystal glass.
A dolphin leaping out of the blue,
a white gloved hand beckoning me,
a grand spiral staircase coming forth .
The hand points, like a clock.
“Ascend,” it says.
I yield and obey.
Where am I going?
I look to my side.
What if I jumped?
I am nudged by my new friend.
I am nearly faint of heart, gasping.
- A doorway
I collapse against the wood,
breathing.
Instinctively, my hand wanders the keyhole .
- A peek inside reveals an entire universe.
Observing, I wonder?
I place my wet, sweaty fingers into the hole,
fingering for a moment.
Like a boy’s first intimate encounter in a schoolyard.
Yes. There it is. A latch.
I touch the Phallus.
I grab the trigger,
my moist, hot hands on this makeshift stick,
and with a click, a release.
The door is ajar now, revealing glowing light
Entering, the glove is removed,
revealing a dove.
She flies away , whispering,
"I am spirit and I am breath of flesh. You may now dwell in both realms."
I see colors I've never seen before
A masterpiece of pink opening up like a woman's breasts
My own chest collapsing,
tears flowing
Swirls of purple effervescence all about
Spiraling, dancing around me
I feel I have become Snow White,
graced by the song of blue birds
perching on my shoulder,
a brown-grey rabbit at my feet,
I welcome each strange creature,
seeing bursts of yellowish light
firecrackers filling me with a golden warmth
I am red with the color of love.
Am I dead?
Nevermind. I am at peace now. It is complete.
