VOLUME 9 TABLE OF CONTENTS

Laser Dance

Lightning laser pencils poetry
shaping the blaze of flesh and dazzle
ember dreams, off-canvas doodles,
air dope, fantasy, froth and glow.

The beams of glimmer-wine awake
the poems that laze on cloudy swirls
of dust-borne smoke, consumer lust
and roiling visions, vaguely twisting.

Levels of meaning move as water,
solo feelings easy to play with,
sensitive stems of tangerine,
a world of yes in bold irreverence.

Dreaded heights in folded gloom
are fanned by phosphorous rhythm,
raving dancers, revealing boogie
naked, sloggering paint and slash.

On skin’s frontier of cultural bounds
a dangerous being, partial to rays,
her coupled color intensifies her
shifting partner’s aerobic praise.
