The large
windows carved out of the white walls embrace the thin twigs dangling to peep
in,
The gentle
ruffling of curtains to the whispering breeze welcomes floating tweets of morning
birds flapping to a leaf rustling in the warmth of its companion,
Night lamps disappear in the creaking dawn
birthing dreamy shadows to follow scripted pathways
A pound of crushed ginger promises to distill the morning saliva,
The vocal chords drink the clarity of the ordinance for
the day, subject to calculated changes in perceptions
Weaving a carousel of events around the varying notes of a
bamboo flute in a motley crowd chirping chorus
The shadows would soon unite with melanin sheaths,
decoding lone possessions
Embraced in silent murmurings when twilight would bloom crimson
glory on a blue canvass and
Soft foamy billows would cradle rainbows in my dreams and
reflections.

distilling the morning saliva.... I recall a time when it was precious and I wondered if it would ever return... how precious are things we take for granted.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the musicality of this piece of prose, making it (also) a poem for sure.
