The Croquis

"The Croquis" I draw what is required from the Russian Doll embracing my mind Heart-shaped, a planchette to guide the necrophonic void eternal, recalcitrant, answers back like a child automatic white chalk drawing whispers from a Ouija board guided by spectral voices charcoal shadows dark cling fast to all the sharp cobwebbed corners directing and pulling invisible refined strings the poetry's ectoplasm is outlined in moments softened smudged into the rough draft canvassing the remnants of a life unseen yet on-demand shards of light cut some kind of spiralled bliss rippling unclear like moon gloaming ocean waves across my nemesis the Croquis letters in pitman shorthand old school hieroglyphics, to you are all mine some future I will be your most desired haunting closer in séance yet still moving fluid out of view somewhere ashes scattered over sea like a siren selkie calling you back into me (LadyLabyrinth / 2021) “White Chalk” / P.J.
