Asleep, suspension fluid

Runs out of my cracked pod

Runs out across the floor

Spilled dream, indigo inky

Swimming with liquid memories

Swimming out past my nictating membranes

Swimming out into the overcrowded world

Aloof of mites on the dusky horizon

The moon looked down one night and laughed so hard

The scales fell from his eyes

And from then on the moon looked down and cried

“And there are pigs floating over Battersea Power Station”

A reference to the biblical tale of the conversion of Saul of Tarsus.

While traveling to Damascus on anti-Christian business, Saul was blinded for three days by a vision of Jesus Christ. The “scales fell from his eyes” as he repented, which healed both his physical and moral blindness.
