Jamais

Vu

The lesser known brother

Counterpart of recollection

Sequins in place of eyes

His brain too tired to think

Sips of the burning drink

and his memory is blank

Fleeting memories flip like a troupe of acrobats

Slipping,moving,twitching

like burning ants under a magnifying glass

Pill on the tounge-body numb

His throat parched-he needs words to gorge

on

Mouth stained crimson red

grasping for thoughts

glowing like bright diamonds in place of diamonds

He took too many

drank too much

wanted to feel numb

But ended up having an old candle in place of a brain

Melting wax hardening into his cranial cavity

The cerebrospinal fluid dissolving

into stars then swelling into a

red giant then rotting and dying

in a marvelous show of explosion

If only every death ended up as a supernova

He can't remember

Guess the sweet disease of unfamilliarity finally infected him
