BEYOND (THE SIN IN CAPSAICIN)

BEYOND (THE SIN IN CAPSAICIN)

heard you got
an endorphin high
reading
      my poe
found every syllable
a green red orange
capsaicin démon
scalding your tongue

wafting you up on
the wings of those breezy
dreamy
    pain-deadening chemicals
of your
own vintage and special
manufacture

carrying you effortlessly
into the bluest of beyonds
