Acid Splash, or, Into Blue Caves

by Terrence Arjoon

the sick in the pale is beginning to smell

the acid bath smells

and the perfume etches

meaning into the ceiling of my mind:

I will never finish this painting

and I never want to

I want

to burn it all down

burn through it

and come out pure

and forgiven
