displayed off our seventh floor balcony.
Fluorescent colors, clouds of fuchsia, amber,
yummy yellow golden glazes across the sky.
So spectacularly spanning sentient space
a show of shows of unearthly grace.
Looming large clouds block...

The Withdrawing Room

Huddled together in this abstemious grey chamber
no windows or means of escape walls closing in

I will undo them now.
I will undress now

I will throw them at you
Daring you to grab them
Measuring how vast your desire is

An old man keeling down by a gravestone
cleans the inscription so it can be read.
For it’s a symbol of why he had come
“Love Is Eternal” was all that it said.

Wiping a tear, his expression glazes

(THE TAKANINI VERSION)

Glazes eyes affixed to life’s heavy hinged seal,
waiting for 11am to be served his liquid meal.
Empty flagons he carries with a shaky mournful hurt,

Once inside he alleges...
