Self Transforming Color Portal

Self Transforming Color Portal

Indigo orb balanced on square marble steps

Swells and contracts to the mask the no-man holds

Soprano soul to the elven hearted pulls

Static 2D floor to the dwarf who strains for gold

Self Transforming Color Portal

Violet gas dense as sand and light as dust

Please, cleanse my synapses

From the nights when female flesh

Made me think ninth circle thoughts:

Nulled, gnawing jaw bone, alone

My forehead a cinder block locked

Between my temples, iron cold

Self Transforming Color Portal

Scarlet untouched by blue, magma migrated

From the badlands off Venus’s coast

Show me the secrets of the ancient world!

Show me the poems sung before stone!

–but most of all

Show me the office in the heavens

Where egos are bought and sold.
