demonic notions flower
like cacti in an octopus garden

when the tequila grapes toes are lush and lotioned
urges fire flickering like broken
neon emotions

staccato stilettos flacked from the machine gun run
of leopard crawling through thoughts
driving impulses towards a wayward waning sun

Just sticking my head through the door -

I especially love this, and the leopard line is truly delicious. Reads like peyote without the vomiting that follows the visions.

I had to look him up, but I think I may be a future fan after reading. Do you have a particular favorite you'd recommend starting with?

hmmmm.. i read him during psychidelic 70s. i think. so dont recall too much.

its definitely not "easy' reading. id plumb for "a separate reality" - i know aspects of that remain, still with me today, although not too sure why.
