the first time i dropped acid ~ D.C. Porder

my eyes melted
and dripped down my cheeks.
the world shut off
like a blackout. swiftly

i captured the blue-white
goo in a beaker.
i placed it in the freezer
to re-solidify the mess.

11 hours later
i was on my knees
crying out of my sockets.

then i realized i could see.
i felt the soft balls
mounted on my face.

a miracle.
