Ping17

your transdermal sky patch
fixed the Stencil Sisters’ blues
opoid vapour
filter dreams
meander dense
‘mong dubbin scents
of leathery herbs
they swirl to form
lunisolar folds
in your sticky bun hat
you bartered it for Klee-bone fish
& other skin prick accoutrements
light scatters from beneath your mind
aerographs the visible world
