Disappearance

DISAPPEARANCE 


Light itself baptised my forsaken body
red became a glimmering ocean
Perseidon’s crystalline tears dripped 
with mine, manifesting oyster shells 

Odyssey smiled, blinking compassion 
from diamond rays of Arcturus 
embalming my shoulders with
his terrible travels

Silent my soulmate disappeared 
crawling on an opposite bank 
into fields of chaffed wheat
towards an abyss black 

She moulted into a grain of rice 
or maybe a ladybird’s swoon
floating between Venus wings

I sought
yogurt 
What did she seek ?
