Canterbury Melt.
Fancy a folie à deux?
A flight abandoned in winter’s
piss-poked snow-dimples,
and the frosted glasses
of small town hovels.
Hemmed in by the fangs-
dazzling deflectors for the flare
and trees;
A hanging, prismatic prison
glinting malevolently.
Melt me, please!
Emblazon me like a golden
ethereal dew
molten on the leaves
Read the rest of the poem Show less
and falling free.
Boughs breaking -
Mutinous fractures
echo in the frozen vacuum
of a crisp, acoustic
wilderness.
Slipping sidewise,
Flexible in flux
I liquefy the perimeters,
And dissolve into splinters
every winter.
