arvo.

I wrote this in the middle of 2006. It's heavy with movement and imagery, but expressed in words that are difficult to understand. I used to love using strange vocabulary I hardly understood myself! Silly, I know, but what it described I still see very clearly...




"ARVO"

Our melancholy decadence:

We swirl supine, unconscious.
Layer-upon-layer,
Horseshoe arch. Neck down-breathed—
I tuck, tightly into you, nestled.
Come to rescue, redeem. Days

Long-winded. A ghostly blur,
you were inert.
As one granule streamed down foolhardy,
Impetuous,
One finger commissioned itself,
Your carried concern.

Draped wires teething, A-line. Strength incarnate
Or,
Haply the weakness endures, prolongs
For a revisit
Heart-sweet,
encased.



Please, if you are a poetry-lover or a curious soul pop me a word and I will explain everything to you!
