counting white tigers

enclosed ina glass prison
like a marble whale
toothless and blind and pure
four pairs of wings and three pairs of claws
smooth and soft as lilies
whispering orb
glowing merciless like a mercury nightmare.

the night’s mouth’s wide open
waiting to swallow you, dark clown
and luminous lizard.

you glide along shallow paths,
blue glass scales in your hair
and on your naked shoulders.

meaningless penitence,
wordless, shapeless truth,
wandering poison, bliss and lust,
unveil yourself. appear.
