Inner Skin Feeling
after a soft outer glow

i sat in the centre of my bed
legs crossed as best i could
i looked and i saw
both inside and out
i watched and saw
an endless flow
of futures tip and bud
endless succession of successive less ends
i watched the night bloom slowly
heady in its wake
(the lights were all off
i drew my blinds)
i sat there and watched the garden grow
as it reached out with
veracious viny verdant limbs
of green
of thorn
of fruit
of leaf
and the evening
piercing through
a thousand tomorrows
piercing through
and casting hues
of light
of life
of the green finite
in its vaporous trail
a passing car
a rustling of limbs hiding
avoiding the attention
of this brightened reality
passing and gone
peering carefully
prior to reappearance
tendrils creep
gently and greenly
across my concrete path
a whisper upon the slowing breathe
a gasp within this splash
this freshening of green of brown
life and death in a spore
a dense petrichor heralds the approach
of a future storm
a pressure drop
copper on the tongue
hearing the taste
of the sound
of the colours that
inner skin feeling
all over
whitened paths
of future lightning events
