Ecstasy of Pain

Missing image
How strange...

the buzz in my head
has me seeing red
swirling alive
in a beaker of dread.

Siphon the dregs off
strain through the cheesecloth
run it again
with a dash of cayenne
while I writhe in the ecstasy of pain.

    very dramatic poem. I woulda thought something about hairspray or gel, but the blood is a good lead in too. well done and congrats on the green nugey.
