was about to post this one a day or two ago, then read martie's and thought i'd been beaten to it. but anyway.... ******************************************* Seven yellow shivers race down fossil-frozen bones as the tiny earthquakes of parched knuckles wince at brittle britain. The palmed notion drops like terrified timber, a premature oak. Lines show the age or us both; freefall in the fall. Lumberjack labour sniffs at tightened hinges; nervousness of the wood. Splinters because you can’t see it cry. Leaves – lovely name – The hint of replacement bound up in the syllable we murder with trudging feet. That colour, remember, dies on its fleeting anniversary The chaos of crowds, fall of an empire conjured in a single frame of animation The wonder of sound As we comb seasons, brush down scarves and walk to the woods again. Scared of sunlight, Seven yellow shivers race to endings. Shaken, we run to open fires And the crackle of one more Elementary victory. |
