Mindmap

crisp green daggers,
rent seamless dreams and falling stars,
walk dreadful in black summer,
walk slowly in fear glimmer
and fine shimmer
of golden poisoned midnight screams,
the boy shattered into a thousand pieces of frosted ivory,
clattered and splashed onto a river of steel
and the rocks wept
as the green tied turned to yellow and brown
sharp black shafts of flutter flap and whisper breath
warm and weary in summer steam,
long distant journey caught and captured
and broken black,
land ugly feathers of brown
sprout colour in the crisp air,
the crisp green air that bites dagger tongue and steel tooth,
that shouts howl and laughter at timid creatures of embers dead
stamp crackle crunching under heavy foot and heavy hand
and eyes that burn with the cold
wrapped up in the night cocoon of cotton and wool
and feather dead beds of soft slumber,
wrapped up in mind quake horrors
that scrape and scurry
across the scarred landscape of a weary mind
wrapped up in eternal night,
eternal dark and the never ending frost of death.
wrapped up in this life
and the next.
