Vampire Hot Sauce

By Xavier Vagus

 

My eyes float
like marshmallow smoke
at dusk in the mist over a novel
the nymphs are asleep
and the fairies knit in their hovel

photons play pong on the treetops like dodgeballs
blood in the street is burning -
vampire hot sauce in green glass -
a ray of glitter glue dust snakes over my shoulder
the faded withered page shines like butterscotch brass

and projects bouncing heart muscle shock absorbers
wrapped in thermal warmers
and the vision of the imagination of an alien in hyperspace on a light speed transformer
mix it with coconut juice
and crank it full blast

Vampire Hot Sauce originally appeared in The Cat and the Oriole
