A Quick Lick Of Yellow (Free verse) by Jeremi B. Handrinos
A quick lick of yellow
Corona and slaves
hauling more stones
down path lit with hibachi.
Plying the night constructing
houses for Gods ennobled
by hands, many hands, with
fingers powdered by lime.
Imbibing Ra and Osiris
working a magical curium
Summoning things with
more names to prefecture.
Then remember me Pharaoh
In this quick lick of yellow
as the waters miasma to
find us middlebrow & wicked.
My dream I scans over pyramids
Watching the world swallow
itself out of need and set up
I am eternally sessile.
A quick lick of yellow
Timelessly uracil.
