Poem: Upside

 

Upside

 

anti-cinders

quick to plumb startled irises,

not-so-depthless pupils,

no aspect of the darkness left.


wings of the solar cleanse tarry wells 

to impel a gaze so high:

beyond the truculence of the sunken;

above the dull shamble-mumblings 

of what-were-human-now-sheep.


such daybreak!

 

glistens trickles through leaves,

athwart a flutter of springboards;

a hover of vibrancy,


not so serene, not yet,


for hope rises onward still, joyous.

joyous the ecstatic, radiant ladder.
