I thought I was a kaleidoscope of euphoric perceptions,
a sensual overlap of sixteen color-receptive cones on the acid spectrum,
creator of words to describe what only I could see when those sinews melted,
and the ocean waxed at my backdoor. I was bottom-feeding, heat-seeking,

This is quite a lovely poem.
It has an excellent concept, and it's very well fit to the small format. The wording is well-done, and provides a nice full scene, and emotion at the same time.
