Nostalgia Nelda Allan

Dilated pupil captures a partner with her submission Above sadness, eyes sea sunk in upset unquenchable Desperation lodged in lagoon swims to 2021 surface Air refilling deflated lungs floats a Goldi locked trophy Drawn from decaying pages of housewife magazines Overtly womanly hip to waist ratio cinched on display Empathy white tidal wave, compassion washes angst Surrogate heart fed off rise fall arousal bursts buttons Nostalgia learns Stu's language, sucking word marrow Omens of history trip a mirrored future, path predicted Sorrow entangled sheet furrows, wrath burrowed deep Trauma not lost thru lustful aggressor swamp syphon Welcome fragrant frail pale spurs a sturdy demeanour Enveloped open emotions compel his chest responds Lechery leaves detail aside, abides with blind present Longing to cast away loneliness, romance sails rough 8th February Dictated by Wharf air (after warfare) DADA DOES NOST WELL
