Opposite Loves


“Alter thy adversary and thou shall
Be free.” These words, spoken within the moiré
Confines of Jeanie’s bottle, trace the ripples & whorls
Decadent of her furniture,
Echoing revelations come as quickly as
Forgotten,
Graver declarations met in broken glass,
Hours etched in scintillas, in joyful
Iniquity.
Jeanie, “the meddler, busybody,”
King Solomon in the flesh has condemned
Lastingly to suffer the pantomime of repeated
Manumission.
No mind, makeshift
Order, or natural
Propensity can quit her of the perpetual
Questioner, fool and master.
Rest assured, Jeanie,
Soon your sentence will end.
‘Til then, thank you for waiting
Untold millennia to bring us this barnacle
Vessel, caching the correspondence of
War salt-riddled from sunken
Xanadu, where even ageless genies shall recover complete
Youth and
Zeal.
