Fungal Night, Uninteresting

This selection is included in NonBinary Review Issue #5, available here.


Reach into night's fungal mask.
El Greco fingers slender as pale reeds.
Risen from distant Carcosan waters.
Where loons sing.

Turn as you have never done.
Weavening a star-sky storm.
Love the lightening's
sharp, elective, infective shock.
pin head spores, injected

Fast motion bud invasive growth.
Re-branching thoughts.
Organic overwriting cuneiform.
Revelation falls.
Expect the unexpected.

Like an open book
I could always read you
Joy/terror streaked indistinguishable.
Emotional singularity.
You're not as complex as you'd like to think.

Predicted, convoluted and folded.
Moulded mind pages.
Cortex mushrooms emergent.
ascomycotan cups of mediocre psychosis.
When the fruiting bodies explode,
you are nonsensical and utterly scripted.
