London Fog
By lupus tenebrae
The silence rocked by
strange whines
of metallic bones,
The gentle gossamer tarp,
quaking, flapping
like loose lips
and molting feathers.

I saw nothing
but waves of imagination,
and castles
assembled with pebbles
and arching cranes.
Imagination,
the word takes me back
to a time when graphite,
had something
in common
with my eyes, ears, and mind.
I looked through
my cinderblock glasses,
my pumice periscope,
and saw nothing
but trees,
and I couldn’t hear them
talking…

You kicked it so far out the park with this one, you hit a racist old lady in her back garden right between the eyes and made her question her entire life choices. Absolute blinder of a work :)

Holy cow, this is amazing! I love the whimsical nature of it, and the closing line is a perfect end to this piece. Especially loved the portions about the "cinderblock glasses" and "pumice periscope" - what a great mental picture that creates for me! Ciao, T/S

Maladroit said it, brother. Your imagery is always at the highest level and you never fail to spark some sort of inspiration in me. Well done, as always.
