passed in her sleep

a poem

srry ik its been a while since I posted poetry here y’all go:

Operatic motherfucker new and old

Black-green peaks shrouded in azure fog’s touch

Sliding forth, the dawn pressing broad kisses to the blue-grey world

Birdsong sprouting and bouncing like jazz from fir to oak brush

Like the slow touch of a wavering fire to tissue paper

The clouds redden and whisper away towards bluer skies

Night’s chilly grasp seductively trails away without anger

And the darkness morphs into a flutter of forgotten lies

Shadows reach further but weaker hiding from stabbing light

As this stretch of the world languorously wakes from slumber

Some eyes remain shut, ignoring the new bright

Dead and irrevivable like broken timber

And the planet, unshaken by pouring keening like an ocean

Pretends she has all awoken
