Falling into lines and columns and sheets

He-trailblazer- carbon

vanishing from the miniature curtain rail

enclosure


And the wood panelling parted

For him

Shuttling

to

Spirited universe


Trailblazer swooshing down that tunnel

Past the polished panels

Throbbing

into vast brightness that is sweet ecstasy

trip of wonder and love


      He goes headfirst and on his ass

Swerving

             the

                 corner


Giddy love tunnel whoops

Arms extending and dancing

It is purely joy and cuming from now on


To be spoken with steadfastness and will and determination for parting panels

and

love tunnels

and

coming cuming

to


phosphorescent

        .

Carbon

Dots      .
