Notes About The Poem

This work is entirely fictional

Ghost Of Another

    Sun-streaked topaz,
          of faint silhouette,
               woman gulping phrases,
           uncanny mirror’s orbital,
           of resonance,
             in blind recess,
      seeing, hearing icicled image,
         psychic blobs melt,
          in close locus,
       hair-raising halo,
          hallucinate my opal eyes,
         sultry smokescape,
                 furnace of,
             walnut garland,
      from  ambling  weeper,
whose shaken trauma,
    I shudder and pine for,
      at red coal pit of,
        my  abdominal agony,
       this lava veiled,
   human’s sideswipe,
“you remind me of someone,”
   whilst being eclipsed,
     by vanilla vapours,
    in a hazy billow,
