Ghost Drift


The cut is acute -
Slashed fast,

No time
To conceptualize

How

Everything dies
In
The essence

Of

Senescence:

Just the haze
Of a maze

Of

Stasis -

Like
The ghost song

Of a black
Swan -

Broken neck
Hanging

On

In the ghost current:
Drifting

On.

Author's Note
Poetic response to "Frozen Beauty" by LDF.

(I have grown flowers, for quite some time,
in a variety of circumstances...

I have always found there to be
something, deeply philosophical about such activities.

I find nature to truly be a
book and a language, to be deciphered.

Sort of like... Crystal gazing.

When you gaze into a crystal
and begin to see and hear...  Things.

But yes...

Tis a strange thing to cut down a flower
whilst it approaches pristine.

It's like its detached from
it's organism of sensorium, without any time for self reflection.

And...  Being connected deeply,
you feel this...  Ever so deeply.

And then...  If you do it whilst in the "dark period"...

That is even more heavy.)
