On a walk you forgot you took

Snow up your knees

Large windows, dark wood walls

A forest castle here for you 

To explore...

"Invisible"



Trapped
within 
4 Walls 
A ghost 

escapes
it's prison 
through 
unlocked door

beyond
freefall
a bird
now soars

The Ocean 
calls the wild
Sargasso in
Me

Rochester’s 
Mirage 
ecstatic 
Bacchae
 
Maenad 
possessed 
submerged
Blue-Green

(Ladylabyrinth/2020)
for my daughter, 
Georgia

I
The beggar outside the supermarket
You swore was picked up later
In a flashy car

While you pissed & moaned
All the way home
To your bookless

With a chlorinated pool
Where one day...

Deep, deep, deeper ...

A dark so fluid I am lost
Swimming, choking, in ink
Still, I dive, soaring down, down
Faster and faster as I dive
