I spy another world…and another…….and another
beyond this one
of luminous beast
and check pointed illusion
here is captured light
spawning
vociferous chatter
adorning
high ceilings with natural drama
now
dropping into our cave we journey
unarmed
but for our fearful weapons
our brightly decorated, flaccid spears
hollow controversial elements
reflect internal wars
and visions flow like water across our limestone walls
this is a world where birds make laws
and foxes follow
The sky’s flip like files
no skin properly separates
toes are numb and cold feet slip
even seated
foolish seeking of silence
sluices through
silver armour
made of dew
you
row row row your boat
gently down the stream
merrily merrily merrily merrily
life is but a dream
