you are the origamic
goldfish in my
bubbles of desire
memoirs of water
in my dreams
encircle the fantastic Taj
in a sensual serenade
written wistfully
on a single grain of rice
your desire is a mirror
self reflecting in my dreams
dissolved ad infinitum
and in you
emerges
the true image
of a false spectacle
the primordial mirror
reflects your hidden wishes
in me
a hexagonal monolith
is erected invisible
in the deep psychic web
i am circling my aquatic dreams
