Rosebud

brooklyn to amsterdam to kansas city
the glass lampshade is burning up
better than a bare bulb
between the two jade bowls

there’s a buzzing beneath my skin
a charge of mushrooms
memories of travels past
hum of electricity beneath the skin of the world

there’s a spark inside of me
& i’ve never let it go out

berkeley to northport to milwaukee
my heart a candy airplane
with a rumble & grumble of thunder
running faster than the speed of light

there’s a spark inside of me
& i will never let it go out
i will never let it go out
this spark inside of me

i can hear the mermaids singing…
