POETRY
The Eternal Dance
To touch the smooth skin,
The open lipped petal.
Is to kiss the tragedy of Dido’s passion,
Amongst the crimson flames of the seraphim’s.
Fallen angels singing half notes for false kings
And queens - painted on decks of cards with two
Dimensional hearts. As we dance in circles,
Singing wordless words of our ancient ancestors
Language: we watch the daises drop to bring death
To creations innocence.
The eternal cries ring out in the rainstorm,
As eternity entered time to swing on a tree
for corpses dancing, spinning in rings.
