Haiku: 17 Drops on the Tongue

like drops
of acid
from Heaven.
Now,
I see.
Bermuda Highway
Just tell ‘em I’m gone
down the Bermuda Highway—
her ghost in the passenger’s seat,
Reaper in the rearview,
suitcase full o’ time in the back.
Going…Going…Gone.
Like Heroin
Sucking us in,
spitting us out
like blood honey in a syringe
into the bliss of an infernal heaven—
this hypodermic love—
you
are the sugar in my veins.
