Half buried mannequin.


Life around bores
beyond human cognition.
Showers are yesterday's and
Spring feasts are long gone
drawing in its place, an ochre sun

Pit had dried up from a squashy
wet blanket to wet patch on a clay urn..

Squeezing me to the frugal space
between the cracks of a parched land

Speculating descent of an acid rain,
to feel her tongue on mine, decolor
to let her wither me back to mud
or I shall, at the hands of
another winter..

I liked this piece very much. It feels so...for lack of a better word, elemental.

Makes me want to go out in the rain and be one with the earth somehow.

Enchanting, dear. The lines wrap me in a cocoon of wonder. ^_^ I especially loved the line "wither me back to mud or I shall, at the hands of another winter."
