Gentle drops

Post by Colm Roe » Wed May 22, 2019 7:01 pm

You're probably right
your justice spreads
I adopt new identities
spreadeagled or hover
an eagle, just
just
just listen 
there's a silence beneath
broken...but spreads 
in jumps and glides and 
stops
listen to paint drying, or 
varnish
sooth coffin gloss
in gentle brush strokes
unnoticed 
in the drapes
and drops

Sorry Colm, I can't get a decent foothold in this one.  It is more ethereal than your usual, which isn't a necessarily a negative, its just that . . .  I can't get any traction.
