Some Different Kind of Lost Heaven


"Some Different Kind of Lost Heaven"

Every once and a while
she would surface 
from that brackish 
dark place 

as a nightingale sings
in the deepest pockets
of a Woolf, the rocks
heavy notes, are removed 

and like Persephone
escape doesn’t arrive
freely, but burns for some 
slight duration, listing selvedge

staggered freedom found
spreading wings wide
along the unsteady horizon
the sunrise lights her song

‘til the dark horses
of Pluto rampage in 
steal her back out of time
to place of labyrinth twined

in fields of Elysian poppies
dreams put to sleep 
behind closed eyes 
some different kind

of lost heaven
where forever is night
where the lost 
Nightingales sing

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

“I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; 
and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.”
(Virginia Woolf, The Voyage Out)

“I feel so intensely the delights of shutting oneself up 
in a little world of one’s own, with pictures and music 
and everything beautiful.”
(Virginia Woolf, The Voyage Out)

“I want to write a novel about Silence," he said; 
“the things people don’t say.”
(Virginia Woolf, The Voyage Out)





Persephone. 
Pluto.
