Ghosts From The Machine (Hypnosis)



A song of whispers 
Crawls 
Upon 
Timeworn railroad arteries 
From the paper speakers 
Of the shelf radio 
In the corner of the studio 

Effluvium 
In the early morning hours 

Not from waking up 
But instead 
From staying awake 

Painting

Multifarious stimuli 

A fresh eye 

Acoustic imaging 

The soulful chorus 
Of females 
Cooing doo wop 
Spells 
Behind a slow 
Deep register 
Male 
Crooning of lost love 

Dilaudid sultry 
Shifting into idle gear 

Voluble and articulate 

Hypnotic induction 
Such as a light 
In a revolving mirror 

Glinting 

Unlocking inner doors 

There is no transference 
Between my joints 

Pressure points immobile 

Gravity surfaced 

As I watch the oil paint 
Dry 
On canvas 

And hear the 
Phenomena 
Of ghosts 
Singing 
Arias 

Vestige 

Desiderata 
I did not even know
