Ghairo Daniels Poet Dramatic Verse

At the last Clean Harbour

I searched for grail across rails 
looking deep without sleep
      at the last clean harbour 
           frequencies 
                     bleeped …
secrecies                
                               sacred
naked I folded silvery 
drops scattering dreams
             ….

Scattered dreams lay 
a c r o s s 
the last clean  
                        harbour (...)
it was blue-green before ascent
reminiscent of Andromeda’s 
coves where frequencies 
danced 
             translucent gold across 
pebbles speaking —-
      …..
 
Naked fear rapped dew 
                               pane
 it shook with pain of 
                                Love 
                                       L o s t
dimpled her toxic flesh was seeking 
the last clean harbour at 
my window where 
quickly 
                         I drew
drapes protecting victories 
                         gained

at the last clean 
                        harbour ~

Alison A Smith nee Howarth August 8, 2026 at 12:41 AM There is a lot of imagery here. Your metaliterary technique beautifully aligns the visual structure of the poem with its emotional descent and ultimate containment.❤️
