A Downturn In Economic Indicators

The moon
is a bay leaf
folded among the trees.

It is not.

There is no time
to love one another, the days
smear like wet ink.

It is the time
of the wolf.

We must feed him.

the milestone attained
a benediction bestowed
so in midst of celebrations
bliss drenched soul presence 
recognising ephemerality 
pulsates in nonchalance 
as during a downturn
watching life unfold

Premium Member Touch-

Touch Only this and the skin Encasing my entire being Touch When I thought of the touch Much I marveled the splendid concern Touch You warned me about the downturn I crave the slack, standstill significance Touch Instead I uncovered the plight There stood a crash rewrite The touchy turbulence tinting such a rush Touch

The Saddest Smile

I watched as reason
drained your face,
frowns cracked
to reveal a single tear
buried under the layers


I witnessed as the dye
dripped off the cuff
twin splashes of blue
scarred my cornea’s


I prayed as the colour
drained from your mouth,
as its corners 
found the downturn


I cry as you dance
to nightshade,


always believing 
the rhythm
would bring you back


and smiling in Technicolour
sad
