"Night Flight"

the sky is 
an open eye
blue as the
Orpheus ocean 

clear in the 
shallows' grit
naivety irritates it 
birthing hard gems

it calls in 
from beneath 
the undertow 
a new dawn  

Morpheus deep
bipolar colours 
unrecognisable
hues and tones

true tides 
swiftly turn and
show themselves
for what they are

fair weather 

in dark and light
there are monsters
always somewhere
casting their rods

fishing 
for ulterior victory
displeased, 
viscerally calm

hear their believable
impassioned pleas for peace 
bought for the price
of freedom 

there is no need
to bargain for bait
the fish swim to the hook
like well rehearsed sheep

the sky like a hawk watching
grey and heavy hooded
removed from it all
ghostly like a ghost 

still and unobserved
watching, waiting 
for humanity to call 
the most feared

and loved, 
in us all

it watches 
day and night
it watches
us all 

acknowledging
our slow fall

watching sad warriors 
waiting 
like sitting ducks
for the perfect storm
 
to close the call
to close
its eyelids
once and for all

the sky watches
it watches us all

it dreams of peace
to sleep without
the heart loaded 
as a broken weapon

trigger ready, deadly
the calibre 
of man, 
well oiled 

their noise is 
desultory 
no function 
no form 

but they are trigger ready
deadly, the calibre of man 

well oiled

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

"There's no hold
The moving has come through
The danger brushing you
Turns its face into the heat and runs the tunnels
It's so cold
The dark dug up by dogs"
