Junkyard Sculptures

By Malice In Wonderland

The
Sunbeams
Are Bouncing off
Reflecting.
Refracting

Wire
Coat hangered linguistics
Duct taped,
Like bandaged dolls
Playing {in}firmary
Draped over
The arm of a little girl
Or the nearest discarded chair

Shrapnel shaded
Eyes rusted shut
Like broken bottles
Whispering lullaby
In Shattered symphonies

These oak branches
En.twined
[Unrefined]
Splinter.d

Through


a n d


Through


./



"These hills speak decay..."





We wandered the sands of a faded sunset

Drinking in the sea air



Chasing seagulls likes kids in candy stores



S c r e a m i n g like Banshees
We swallowed our false hopes
And Im.perfections
Bound in starlit serenity
Dancing across the rolling landscapes of green fields and daisies
All the same


We fled the scene like criminals
Ivy bound in crimson and sulfur
We jumped the cliffs of impulse



Landing


Headlong and face first


Abstracted
Insatiable


And fucking Perfect.

    This really just....kept my engaged the whole time I was reading. Like you know, when you're watching a movie and kind of on the edge of your seat. And I was really smiling at the end, though. Embracing the perfection of....imperfection. Scholar

  • A former member wrote: interesting structure... like two sides of a coin, the beauty in the midst of decay.... two settings, hills and sand..... a search of perfection, maybe.... cliff diving....? wild ride with contrasting visuals and well composed images. thanks ms rain :)
