"The Flood Contained Electric"

walls of glass 
sheathe this heart
a conservatory
for the lacking 
of menagerie
the walls aren’t
bricked up 
comme dans une
la orangerie
clearly seen 
straight through
X-ray vision
dancing dervish
until the clouds 
roll in and the 
pea soup fog 
mists over the view
jade is the colour 
caught courting within
the flinting prisms
seen in the eyes
of jaded others
the storm's coming
warns Elektra 
standing outside
the shattering
evaluation 
rain like hands 
clapping 
hail like pebbles
thrown by the good 
heavens above
turn Pollock 
tomatoes crushed
hard thrown 
the bleed painted
as water colour fades 
pink and naked 
cantoring in the mind
then, racing west
unbridled like 
a white wedding 
splayed onto the page
the bride stripped bare
surrenders
bricked in 
l'orangerie
the flood
contained,

Elektra 
turns away

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
