Poem: Upside

 

Upside

 

anti-cinders

quick to plumb startled irises,

not-so-depthless pupils,

no aspect of the dark untouched.

wings of the solar 

cleanse tarry wells 

to impel a gaze so high:

beyond the truculence of the sunken,

and the shamble-mumblings

of what-were-human-now-sheep.

such daybreak!

streams of glistens through trees,

tossed by a flutter of springboards.

not so serene, not yet,

for hope rises onward, higher and lush.

joyous the ecstatic, radiant ladder.
