Nocturnal Emission
Every night I scurry
through your eyes again
for the first time.
Unimpeded by your dwelling-
barred doors of spasm flatter
the roof erected from tears.
I summon you nightly.
Hurling doctrines
at busted windows,
awaiting on sanction while moaning
ethereal hymns to your imperfections.
I see you there-
tearing off your morning coat,
broadcasting your splendor to the world.
Debased weeds waltz about her curious
constitution as vines parody her plight.
My ventricle begins to whistle
vows to the vaults.
Dancing upon your lashes,
I watch her
emancipate her cognizance.
