you give me
a kick.
i become
curiouser
and
curiouser.
together we
open
forgotten jars.
strange
creatures
growl.
doors appear.
tiny, we crawl
through
forbidden
passageways,
mechanical
gardens, mirrors
sprout flowers
(drink
me)
i search underground
labyrinths
for comfort,
waking, wide
eyed,
out of my
element.
my pujas are
shrines
reflecting
you,
this is my
homeland.
two plus
two equals
five.
we
believe
unmarked bottles.
i shrink,
travelling
your
unknown
countries. our
dream map,
riddles, then
swallows
me.
