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 ?
