Definitions will spawn in a new window (Wordnet):

Hyperglycemia during a walk
uncjaf

Hands like false teeth.
 1
Underneath balmy skin something
 2
itches, thickens. I dig and pull,
 3
carve with blackened nails, wrists to elbows,
 4
raking the belly of my forearms
 5
in rhythm to Scriabin’s grieving piano—
 6
 
I stumble grossly beneath
 7
an emergency glow: neon blue
 8
half-light reflects off glassy pavement
 9
from long, dark, iron posts—
 10
miniature supernovas flicker
 11
at their ends, blanketing the moon,
 12
smothering night-rest and dew.
 13
 
Now, this meditation
 14
crackles and splits like gasps from
 15
an original transistor radio.
