AP 8

Journey to the Centre of an Artist

To know you I make myself microbial
trepan your inscrutable skull, burrow through bone
leap canyons from cortex to cortex

From my vantage point in your cerebrum
I am blinded
gold matter glittering with intellectual bling

I escape through a labyrinth of lobes
bull-dancing
somersaulting
your mind my minotaur, panting in pursuit

I will need an armed escort for my next expedition
pulsing through arteries to the red centre of your heart
perhaps there I will make your acquaintance
