My Beatific Pickle Vision

Illuminated gherkin,
its bright body glowing from within, yellow resonance
tracing our astonished faces--a stripped
extension cord, a couple nails,
a pickle, belly glowing
like a firefly, no,
a fireslug, fireleach, smoking
and cracking terrifyingly, Frankenpickle
stirring on the plastic cutting board, alive!
until the glow fizzles,
the stench rolls out windows and
that damned blob of char and cucumber
is like a god to us.
