Nostalgia & Cyanide

The air is full of cider
And cyanide
Pills bloom
In the fermented
Loin of her
Apple
Diced in half
Cut in cubes
Syphoning the sludge
To a single garden
I recall a breeze
that blew your kiss
in my face
and the saliva
that drooled
from the ripened sky
Drenched my hair
In sonic bliss!
I tasted your flower
Chewed its buds
Swallowed its pedals
I smile at the
Burn of your sweet
Poison swimming
In my blood
Nostalgia in my veins
On the riverbed I swim
With the current
My belly rubbing
Against the muddy banks
A calm certitude glows
In my recollection
And the apple materializes
Out of the sand
I grab the golden apple
And tug and pull and heave
But the apple is rooted into the core of this weaving stream
Weeping water
And sprouting seconds
Of solitude and sedatives
Bubbles breathe
themselves
And the stars
swallow themselves
In the reflection on
the surface
All the while you
watch from the cliff
And laugh at me
Trying to answer
a question with
no root

How come I havent seen this? I felt this poem, like literally dude. I'm sitting here, I think I've given myself a caffeine tumor right here in my amygdala and I felt myself flowing with this poem as though it were a river ending in a waterfall.

I like this a lot. She was, no doubt, the apple of your eye. Maybe even your apple tree, ripe with spring apple blossoms but, the poison in the blood and all the following liquid images are wonderful. Unto the end, a question with no root? What do you hope to gain? What did you hope to gain?
