Becalmed atop a mirrored sea
the storm has passed...
In annual repetition he came,
Sorrow sweeping the path before him...
Churning assimilation in guts torn open to reveal
bleak innards meshed in manias grip...
Poisonous beauty.
Spreading lauded wings...
Their numbers swelled as did the pride
Of those who sailed across the sea...
Multicoloured vibrant hues
Belie the nature clouded deep...
Candystripe petals peek
through deep green leaves...
Slam the steel door and fasten it tight
Make sure it’s sealed to keep out the light...
Lets decorate the house and hold a party.
To celebrate Dad's birthday...
To see the beauty
in a single snowflake...
Drowning on dry land,
Every breath an effort...
Thunder rolls through the air
ferrying a heavy darkness...
