shall we call it disdain?
colouring the gaze
in sheets of acid rain
icicle stare
phosphorous filaments
and filigree
frozen
in formless sculptures
seeping
into the symmetry
submerged
for
hours
ours
to
smother
in
sandstone
shall we call it rain?
hail?
shredded spidersilk sail
sunken shipwreck
surfaces
in silence
swimming statues
silt
and sandstorm screams
suffocating
obliterating
the
frozen glances
distant
disdain
seaweed surfacing
to surrender
and skies
heaving
with rain
