Excitement Curves Earthquake’s Architect of Mind

I am the architect of mind

tipping off structure, shaking.

Uncontrolled motion leads to profit.

I am the architect of mind.

Turtles can change from doves to sea monsters

swimming with gentle wings, flying with peace

or encroaching on the foamy curls of the sea

with blinding tail whips and silent strangulations.

Whose to say which I mean to signify

they’re all your monsters

            I’ve just introduced them.

I have my own demons and snakes that swim

sliding over my feet so I don’t feel them

until I’m snagged and trip over what seems to be

myself.

Snakes and turtles will send me to Hell.
