DISAPPEARANCE


Light baptised my forsaken body
red whirling a glimmering ocean
Perseidon’s crystalline tears
drip-dropped into mine
manifesting oyster shells

Odysseus smiled blinking
compassion from diamond
rays of Arcturus
embalming my shoulders
with his terrible travels

Silent my soulmate disappeared
crawling onto an opposite bank
into fields of chaffed wheat
towards abyss black

She moulted into grains of rice
or maybe a ladybird’s swoon
floating between Venus wings
seeking her paintbrushes
cleaned and singing

I sought strawberry
yogurt
What else could
sorrow do ?
