Sian

...Sian, she sits in a lonely room,
Hugging at her knees
Should she go to London Town,

Stiffened by a free wind
Blowing across a memory

...Through storms, the sea of the bridge shivers,
Silken curves of titanium on pillars of ancient stone,
Dust gathers in my fists like onyx under veils of rusted gold,
And in the cosmic silence, my t...

Around it, whole worlds gather, with stiffened breaths and glassy stares,
Herds move, languidly inside a landscape tor...

...In the heart of the night, next to the unmoved clock,
She lies, with the pillow—a saline lake of pagan scents,
Mourning something that was never spoken.
Prisoner in the castle of shadows, where da...

never settle below
they float instead
and fester inside
