'Spellbound' runs
through unresisting brain
around and around
like getting stoned
with Molly and Lisa
or drinking that tea
de Quincey switched to
but I forget
my watch is ticking all by itself somewhere
in the dark
raging
deprived
berserk
I hear and I am sorry for it
horns drive
through unresisting body
train horns
hornsmoke
cry of Dandelion the one-horned goat
knowing it will soon
be pushed though a very small opening:
death
I hear and I am sorry
being far from innocent
in the matter of Dandelion
a shudder runs though unresisting bed
it's a cave-in all right:
a collapse somewhere in the deep
spreading quakes
around inside the planet's terrible head
which will not stop
absorbing its food
from everything
everything
an electrical ghost it
runs right through
neurons
passages
of infinitely binding
