Thousand and one
Anthology 2013 Entries, English Poetry |
Heavy in your languor you shot me a thousand times
bit by bit the sharp prick of the arrow,
made way through the skin I wore
tearing into the sheath where a tiny me
with blank white eyes, sat quietly playing life.
The marbles stay where they did.
Childhood lost in growing up
the bloom, in quest
the stretch of a seemingly unending wheat field
never fails to brown my view
lost in its undulant layers
my dreams soft pedaled holding colors,
thousand and one.

Purabi,
Reading and re-reading this for its complexity and sheer enjoyment of the language.
I particularly like
“my dreams soft pedaled holding colors,”
Fergus
