Poem
"Aurora Spills" Aurora spills like a waterfall light from the eyes saltwater tears crocodilian scaled in the weight of worth a drop in the ocean of fate breaks the seaweed fields of stories they wave her in rippling time away fingertips dance mesmerising the stinging strangers wrapped around her legs treading water in deep infested notions the coolness of irreverent nonchalance romantic or not pulls her under covers like warm blankets heavy comfort calls the broken floating towards the shabby matrix new gates of life open mirrors crack like eggs the vision reflects both light and dark demon and saint their remnants embers, still in the coldness of prickly gloaming like glow worm glen fireflies red and glowing sparks ignite a rapturous bushfire from cinders billy tea leaves overturned empty cups read the yolk of a heart never lies fried casually by the over easy in shallow pans of poetry under microscopes of blithe mordant critique minute shards of gold are slowly sifted from the flotsam dross some wisdom found in the muddy fertile mind shooting up from 6ft underground like small green plants growing under rocks with centipedes and the petulant poison of spiders in pink reflection insurgence blooms war never waits silently the Pandoras smile understanding all and nothing of a small life distended, swelling love for that which was stolen where bursting broken blue weeds undo frozen jewels diamonds sharp for the cutting shiny words spells of insanity delicious moments melting time swallowed spoken without voice listening to ghosts scratching through walls where life floods from glass boxes coffins of buried treasure banished kaleidoscope colours overgrowing (LadyLabyrinth / 2022) “The Lady in the Lake”/ Elysian Fields https://youtu.be/IjX8xfZ7sg0 “Out of whose womb came the ice And the hoary frost of heaven Who hath gendered it The waters are hid as with a stone And the face of the deep is frozen” LYRICS/ “The Lady in the Lake”, Elysian Fields https://genius.com/Elysian-fields-lady-in-the-lake-lyrics
