Sabbatikos

By Corinthian







 





Ardent
       moon lights burn 

 Silent bears with fire.soft lips 
  and passing breath
 
    



on nerve.less pillows of  
green chenille and
drowsy.silk 
         


Crumpled and ravished
  beribboned wings
laurelled with
 
riots of red
moonlight scars 


unpausing wind 
         shadows crawl

colossal dream 
        unpractised sway



beneath this  dyed.blue night
.

When the torture of the listening is through

  • A former member wrote: i like the flow in this
