Saptak

Floating half crossed stairs before me
An elderly presence to the right of my shoulder
I eat to my left munching on sickness
Head turned away towards the heavens in my ear.

A fishbone curved to a point
slipped out of its skin
for a shocking dip into the sun
swelling through all the seemingly solid stares.

A faint lift of a pinky fingernail
just skimmed of cream
whipped of fingerprints
embedded in a child's story.

Inside the cage of ribs
bbqd and spicy
Beige and brick columns
Straight spinal support
Shooting to the door
where the music makers stare.

I don't understand your language
but I know my heart's vibrations to truth
predict your beat by the swelling
of a secret...
and this reaches all.
