off and away [haunted] - original poem

off and away [haunted]

where are all the boys
who dream on Murakami pillows
and drift into lucid seams
of Toshio Saeki illustrated scenes?

who are the boys
who ponder on canvas
scratched by Francis Bacon's being
the boys haunted by ghosts
possessed by something else?

full apparitions
and all in-between
watch your step
as we descend
into darkness
to play with glass jars
on wooden shelves

housing eyes, ears
noses, and throats
protected by insecure
unsettled beings
not yet willing to plunge
pushing what's possible
trusting the colors splayed

standing on an alien star
drifting off and away
