Inner Skin Feeling

after a soft outer glow

By BrenPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

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

flagged

tagged

fragged

as required

nothing wrong here
