a cradle with a conjured value
was assurance
my fiefdom did exist
the moon's fullness
readies to birth a god (gender exposed)
all mothers expose
their young to a universe - label
our course yet quick to cover
our vital shame
to step into a dreams hole
is not always reversible - some(things)
must be approached, awake
aware
the culture of the day
is short lived, its rotation loses worth
along the way
insinuating a dying, rethinking
beginning
a shadow holds its own
energies - released on its own accord
to fall into such madness
is a discovery of self proportions
able to fit
revealed into a cradle once
lost

and the one bri mentions above..
I especially like the moon's fullness ready to birth a god...beautifully evocative...
ReplyDeleteSuch a depth of feeling in "a cradle / once lost". The second to last stanza is stellar.
ReplyDeletethat 2nd stanza = wow! as a whole, it is a wonderful write...
ReplyDeleteYou have a great touch for evoking mysterious realities that make what has been known so well all of a sudden weird, in the sense that it makes us more aware of ourselves in it. The following lines were very intriguing:

aware
You are one of the main reasons I keep coming back. You are amazing. Such emotions, visions, sounds, voice, talent. Glad, very glad I was able to stop by.
ReplyDeleteSuch eloquence and imagery ... "a shadow holds its own energies" - indeed. Just lovely.
