Poem
DAUGHTERS Opposites presented by Goddess in talons of Eagle on wings of Dove Equally loved A torrent from a fierce black cloud yang frothing waves in a storm beating seaweed rocks claiming it in her bosom then furling it afar into unknown depths where Neptune roars his roar on end boasting an indigo flag Then ...light as a feather yin floating on a shimmering beach rosy ringlets microscope crabs, bubbles giggling at ant antics in crevices of creaky floorboards while autumn Sun sets dew drops on clover leaves so misty morning says Hello ! A dancing juicy apricot kisses at library doors spongy beneath oak exterior where beetles dug a hundred paths staring defiance at an orange star scornful, graceful, factual proclaiming a Largeness of Life ! An Earth child in long waves of auburn reaching for Mercury A Spirit child, Earth located One imaged from bowels of struggle she whispered freedom in my ears when behind prison bars I sat counting toes One imaged from Gabriel’s gown or was it Merlin’s ? she fingered watercolours through my lenses As Saturn said goodbye ... Sirius screamed from wreaking hell wrought from rages or sages unknown Born in blood without its blue from a womb of turmoil tremors crystal dripping dark strife hypocrisy contemplated torn apart by churning guts as young medics ogled grimaced, searched so premature, so incubated it was “I will survive!” Sun and Moon crossed one another not knowing which way but loose streaming rivers flowing sideways in dusty towns, painted villages, rape a gecko appeared on a pillowcase Gangster peeped through a window books came tumbling down numbers flew away lashes black as croaking crow it was “I am here!” There can be no coin to ponder if not faces two no tornado ripping apart if no breezes play on a horse farm in Karoo No life if no death Night clings to day as daybreak clings to escaping night sunset embraces twilight negates itself, disappearing one embalming the other while flying together on a silver thread in blueberry Sky !
