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.
