sticky, skunky
blossoms, pressed
between her fingers,
gliding, on glassy scissor blade
pulverized
olive-golden coal dust
drifting in a Pink Floyd sea

delicate rings of gentle euphoria
swirl incandescently,
raking her cerebrum
billowing globes
of nectarine smoke -
a knife, eviscerating
this umbrella
of inky blackness

impaled -- on a spire of nectarine delights
