Velocity Trifecta

Dark upon light frees The burden of gravity Bleeds velocity~ (war) - the wretched heart beats Impotent as cold echoes permeate Shattering glass tears, the child’s eye Sacred aperture wisdom wide Spreading trails of light Piercing arias in blue and gold Flash cluster light mutation Pulsing images of cracked earth carnival Sweet nightmare consumes thereafter Small fingers clutching briefly butterfly memories Those small miracles Beautiful and divine…once upon a Time (now) - clouds thicken into knots of ragged froth Entangling twilight choking pale amber sun While droplets fall on blank verse Softly at first Spreading sacred rage across blue stain star universe Bury you bury me A rope between will set us free Bathe in shattered shadowed sea Battered Beaten Broken Breathe… Into me into you God frenzy fires fear imbue Exhale into flesh anew Memory reborn Twisting Tattered Tethers Torn… Dark upon light bleeds The burden of gravity Frees velocity~

"Trifecta" was a wonderful title, Mat! Perfect. The images you created put me in war scences filled with violence, fires, etc., memories reborn from one you experienced the horrors of war. I can't imagine how someone lives with that over a lifetime. Hubby still occasionally has nightmares. A powerful poem! Sara
