Broken Elevator Book Club

I cheered a distant silent flutter
you finally found him
the Author
our conspiracy now transmogrified
a new night moth born
a penetrative sin stroking something deeper
love like the pearls from the anus of an angel
he flummoxed you
he flummoxed me too
was the mad Pluck white?
or black??
he is most certainly with the mountain monks now
oh, he is indeed their problem

we underline scriptures in hospital scrubs
in Eve's leaves
quoted verses, made a progress of some sort

we found something from afar
a new kind of fingering in the wet temporal lobe
bed of paperback pages
slick pen slash stroke against yellow flesh
suspended typeset like a taunting worm
a witch's curling finger beckons us
where candy lay
where magic lurks

I picture you there across the million miles
fingering his crooked spine
following his mischievous modifiers with dangling perversion
a mouth full of rain and coffee water
stoned on the vapor trails of bygone lovers
aroused by a novel's unknown owners
tickled lightly to beginning
later lasso'd
ah, this new chapter in our love affair.
