Five Senses


from the ABC set 2005-2006

I touch the hidden message of imperfection
In the braille of your skin

I hear the orchestration of fatality
In the music of your breathing

I see the defenestration of your soul
In the broken panes of your eyes

I smell the intimations of deception
In the bed-sweat perfume of your bathrobe

I taste the years of futility
In the mildewed cup between your thighs
