Prosthetic
My soul prosthetic, I wear it upon my amputated limbs
on a devoir to need basis
I transmutate it around in my vast tinctured wardrobe,
Ready-to-wear, wrinkless, pristine — but for the stain of brandy,
Imbibed in the shards of a cobalt blue — champagne flute
Changeling, prismatic amputee, found in the variegating aseptic,
intersection of The Guf
Somewhere between the barren boulevard of the Tree of Souls, and
the serpentine, eastern Curb of Eden
Gabriel, directs the traffic as I oscillate the freeway
Delayed for my preconceived rendezvous with Lailah
The climb arderous, I trip up on the rachitic, seventh step of Jacobs stairwell
My blepharoplasty, annulled, neglectfully adumbrating, as I knock on the doors of a cavernous Columbarium
No response, the skeletal passkey missing —
God is out for the day —
Sign reads, Please, leave a message, with the front desk — response time, indefinite,
Hurried chromasity stymied, casting lots, the Treasury takes a siesta.
Att: Dr Mehmetyildiz — - thank you.
