Capsaicin

Invite me into your quick and solitary, experiential ways, I beg.

I felt that burn, only slightly, regionally accustomed and glass eyed.

Drunk on a druid's herbal draught, mesmerized at the winter solstice.

I have seen what I am not supposed to; I have tapped the invisible line.

Words cannot explain the images and this side doesn't seem real enough.

I dove in, submerged, letting myself sink, swimming towards the bottom.

It's not that I am discontent, but I need things transparent; darkly luminous.

I don't fall, catch myself, but I do run, and, at times, I save the dear to me.


There are foreign places where people often walk these trails with me.

Sadly, though, it is only because their taste is not refined enough.

Me, I live for, the thrill of, the next rabbit hole, but unlike the girl

I am in control.
