fasting | poem

a new one for the collection

fasting

caught in thought

by a windowpane there is vapour, condensation.

in a daze she appears as unlikely, as an image.

within her is the postured form of the open-minded—

accessible is accessible is accessible.

---

overtime memory lapses and departs,

as one begins to study

another form of all-day hourglass musings—

timeless is timeless is timeless.

---

smoke rises from a flame

as a skein of birds take flight to arrow

beyond a patchwork of rolling hills.

somewhere over there is a kite

held in the hand of an only child.

eternal blue will always remain—

sky is sky is sky.

---

in the presence of a thoughtful nature

comes the spiral of her imagination

considerations get taken from outside of the disorderly—

unique is unique is unique.

---

boredom no longer feasts

on the bones of the disinterested

stuffed full by their own—individual indiscretions.   

how easy to be misunderstood

distraction is distraction is distraction.

---

once fed on the other

individualism introduces itself to expressionism.

a brush of willow like hair is stroked behind an ear

to kiss the subtle form of indentation—

essence is essence is essence.

---

every day absences

of age-old senseless indiscretions

become a neon memory glow—rich as butter.

she is an omnipresent;

I am her dedicated voyeur.

heart is heart is heart.
