MDMA

my obedient body becomes wild again
obeisant to salt and plastic water bottles
obese cauldron of a boy whose pupils become planets
obstetrician who midwifes serotonin
the kitchen linoleum an obverted dance floor
my skin an obscenity i can’t keep my tongue off
so what if this euphoria is only ephemeral 
if tomorrow i find the night absconded
            with my smile
if the man i love turns over in his sleep
and becomes a hollowed out gourd
                    with a horror mask face
if every object of my intimacy becomes ash
i will still thank each marked and unnamed chemical
            for making oblivion in my blood
dopamine  mephedrone  amphetamine
you bring opalescence to the meat
you make the abattoir smell sweet
