damask

 damask 


along a long dusk of an ivory sky

along the long-dead of a day’s hours 

weeping into the bare trees deepening

deeper deeper until suddenly

a single candle pierces an eye

a shriek shears a ear 

deeper deafens and then the

silence 

of an afterglow that succumbs to

the pinkest pinkness in the blackest trees

and how the window reflects our inside out

into the dark insolvency where an imposter

sky smoulders high in the dark tips 

of the toppest-most disbelief that 

the sun’s death has surely dyed it all

before it too dies and at that thought 

both of us stare in disbelief


cut! 

it’s a wrap!
