was rubbing heads

with orange peel laced exotica

in seas sprayed light blue

indian music ringing through valleys

echoing some lost in the found

shapes among cod boats-

all elegantly painted

into whispering colored eyes

heat of late night Chinese cuisine dreams

along the mu chu river just south

between Mr. & Mrs. lortabian

banging symbols: when I heard a sneeze

& lifted my eyes from slumber

only to fall deeper in citrus juiced

tentacles
