Firmament
Stone tracery flows
across a vaulted
Gothic
sky
A retina’s veins glow
to hold fast the sky
in a steady
eye

On a Prague street
Old tram tracks
through the town —
once warm footprints
in fossil sand

At night, a Christmas garland brightly lit —
Milky Way, spine of the sky.

where long waves carve the air unseen
young clouds accumulate like herds
at sun-blessd kissing gates
and though you wonder at their swelling weight,
or if they come to dance
as soft and dreamy creatures
in your tilted fluffy head
you miss a joy unfolding when
each nods and takes their silent turn
to surf
where long waves carve the air unseen
each passing wave rattles empty shells, gulls calling
my daughter’s hand is cold beneath the rubble

A new #poem today aiming at #imagism (in the sense of by Pound's "In a Station of the Metro.")
Though from responses elsewhere I guess I might sent folk off down the wrong road. 🤔
Open to #discussion if you are interested.
here's something I tripped over while out running this morning.
= blindfolded =
i fall towards the centre of the earth
at zero miles an hour ...
