Flying Solo

A black Ocean consumes
as it pours forth 
splitting heaven,
as stars fall to comets
and vortex into my
gasping mouth,
I swallow
every last spec of light 
in my world


so overwhelmed
I spew endless streams
of angered refusal
and splutter embers


as my mouth burns
in the light of ever’s
I now know


to deny 
from the world
the smallest scrap 
of glimmers
is not to live


swimming free 
from oceans
and regurgitated


Now,
I stand on 
virgin beach
alone 


consumed in light

Jayne, I think of other poems you wrote before, and examine the range of emotions here comparing other things. You have matured into a mastery ... you have found the voice that owns the metaphors of life. Well done!
