Ink and change

Ink and change

A Poem by Perdition

It takes the life from a second 

          as all from night comes crawling in

 I react and have the look of no one

       the hook without a wound


"Sow 

    the landscape"

She descends

      

      "Turn this unbridaled season towards its sun"


     Then I hear these words again

        bells of seam and choir ringing 

  and the look burns colder 

     change and distance taking hold  


 like a festering wind 


But what of the season of the soul

       I ask

            What of that pregnant heart

     The unburied seed, simple and dry

           surrendering 

     

And what

      of our desperate need for deep and wonderful misery

Your poetry is part mystery, part words than haunt in an unusual way. Two or three reads needed, and still the wondering as one 'turns the page' yet again.

'But what of the season of the soul
I ask
What of that pregnant heart

The unburied seed, simple and dry
surrendering

And.... '

Thought continues - as ever. Many thanks for sharing words.. thoughts.. you.

It rolls off the tongue and the reading mind. Such a pleasant read.Of the 'unbridled season' and the 'unburied seed.;' of 'festering wind' and 'wonderful misery.' Its melody sows the landscape. Thanks for sharing. Frederick
