Two Poems
Spherical Scent.
Drafts of Light from
Alto Spheres
Spun through Leaves
Bright,
as his Lips - I remembered
became the Shape of
my Body.
Back against Dead and Mossy
Trunk -
as a Woman
& Sunken
from each side of me
Risen out of Leafy Shore
came the Smell
of Rain on Elements Green & Sodden
Wept the Floor
of Oxygen.
​
Soul of Blossoms.
​
Soul of Blossoms -
After Spring I died & fell off a Tree,
where I lay Silently
in the Ground until the Hot Sun began
to burn Me -
Throughout the Summer I Burnt
Passionately
in Bright Warmth -
& then when Autumn came -
I became the Colour I wanted to be,
because I was now a Memory -
the Colour of Me was Darker, Deeper
of Soul now.
I was Given a Colour by the Soul of
the Earth & the Earth remembered
Me in its Pattern -
Somewhere?
because Someone had taken a Picture
of Me when I was at my most
Beautiful
So I Counted!
My number was enough to be Involved in
the Picture of Three Dimensional Blossoms
& as a Year had passed I was kept,
I had my Own Imprint & I was now a
Shade of Wisdom in the Darkened
Cell of the Photographers' Mind.
