omissions

A Poem by felioness

knowing it's over

the wind won't sleep tonight

mournful omissions keep me awake

while i watch moon splintered darkness move over plaster

outside the night is deep

the stars weep diamonds

jagged and raw they sweep across the sky

glittering like harpies on a high

recriminations reflect more guilt than gold

so i am told

last night i heard an owl

afterwards, silence ...

then the sudden womanly scream of a fresh kill

and i dreamt of you

i wore white and you were shadows carved from stone

your lips falling feathers and i was snow bearing signs of struggle

history is unalterable

and while i was lost in a storm

your Icelandic eyes

searched distant horizons

I was impressed by the bizarre diction and powerful story-telling in this, it's rare I find myself drawn in like this. You have a very strong poetic voice, I'll have to read more of your work to fully understand it.

Please do keep entering your work into the Festival :)
