Burst In Its Zone

 

through and through
the city night contours gild the darkest filter
the zero gravity scythe swings on a mirror
the lesions twinkle as snowflake shards..

lotus of secrets beneath nightshade
more fallen tears staycation
limpid in amber
in upward flow
roll up to the back of the eyes
as the last vestiges of takeaway oil
reel in tethered
like a vanishing charm on a pendant..

bottle green empties flash their skyful
a dash of fairy lights droop lower over the river
like a trashed pier in its zone
weekend fish drink flatpack bubbles
caught like gifts of a swooping orb..

moonlight strikes the bin liners chrome
scampering urban animals tread on parched needles
a lonesome clubber bellyflops over his headphones
at light speed the astral traveller tilts at his concrete platform
as the bin liners admire their aura silver..

the sheep count the flooding pillows
gamma wave transformers for star signals
burst the city romances the blinded desert..

following in the wake of seagulls
snap-off rainbows back in deep-freeze
monday lanyards of rain..
