The Star Studded Counseling
Matrix of Depression

cloaked in stars
naked feet in a pale stepping
conjunction, a dune of quilts
press the shadowed green wisps
raw wind licked over the enclosure to sigh 
on his hallucinated, flirted out features
amidst the row of our comfortable palpitation
the group writhes on tired haunches
spotlighted hesitation, reluctant
to expose to the awake
the moonlight shrouds us, resting
on the tips of her body, grazing
her soft curves, it wades in the tendrils 
stars played whispers on her garnet lips
her eyes dappled with the reflection of the miasma
damsel in distress
it makes her head paraded in their smiles
gusts of ignoring air flock, 
bathe me in frigidity to stroke her
a tear quivers and slips 
from the monster's green eyes.
