anatomy of an epiphany
AlchemiA

it began with
 1
a smell, your scent
 2
infused in the texture of my life,
 3
then a picture of you in
 4
better days
 5
 
 
I sipped the fandango of your juicy roundelays
 6
your pregnant expectations
 7
in memory you gave me sons ...
 8
 
 
all fullness leaks
 9
all expectations rebind
 10
to realities eventual penetrations
 11
every fatal thought, slipped from thinking
 12
 
 
el espiritu de la salsa
 13
along with the gecko
 14
puts on its dancing shoes
 15
flashes fire at its tongue
 16
 
 
this is it!
