Nostalgia Nelda Allan

Dilated pupil captures a partner with her submission
Above sadness, eyes sea sunk in upset unquenchable
Desperation lodged in lagoon swims to 2021 surface
Air refilling deflated lungs floats a Goldi locked trophy 


Drawn from decaying pages of housewife magazines 
Overtly womanly hip to waist ratio cinched on display 
Empathy white tidal wave, compassion washes angst
Surrogate heart fed off rise fall arousal bursts buttons


Nostalgia learns Stu's language, sucking word marrow 
Omens of history trip a mirrored future, path predicted
Sorrow entangled sheet furrows, wrath burrowed deep
Trauma not lost thru lustful aggressor swamp syphon


Welcome fragrant frail pale spurs a sturdy demeanour 
Enveloped open emotions compel his chest responds
Lechery leaves detail aside, abides with blind present
Longing to cast away loneliness, romance sails rough






         8th February 


         Dictated by Wharf air (after warfare) 


         DADA  DOES  NOST  WELL
