Stare
at the
universe;
backlit pinpricks
on card. Cosmic children in playful ruse.
Serpentine prism;
flamboyant illusory arc
blown by daylight's kiss.

Fool's errand
pursued by youthful breeze.
Naked but for
snow laden branches,

the silver birches
shimmer, lit by hopping lanterns;

comet tails flash
amongst skeletal frames.
Winter beckons,
as humanity laminates the Earth,

shamefaced, we
falter and play in the snow.
Lemon grove -
celestial pendants;
awaiting gravity's pluck.
Gossamer-winged
illusion winking at the
periphery of thought and vision.

Hinterland elfin mischief maker
sparkling in ethereal glitter;
dancing through the realm of eternal dawn.
Cherries –
bound by blood knot.

Molten passion –
plump, ripe, moist, alluring.

Bolted stems –
anchored in the deepest flesh.

To wrench apart –
would shatter the world.
