When the sky is broken
by William Robbins
copyright 06-16-2002


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
When the sky is broken
silver, transient threads of eclipsing espial
are suspended in the mind
by a clothesline of frayed excuses.
Awakened by the suffocating ashes of time clock travail
that sting the nostrils in toxic ambience,
the infected mutate into zombie flesh and marionette marrow,
wan in face and see only revenants of regret in the mirror
and become terminally ill with the cancer of minutiae.
Exhaling the stench,
one desperately gazes beyond the rage of furrows,
until the blood of pith drinks again
from the call of Arcadia’s siren womb
where pen and thought swim like Siamese twins.
Lifted by a verse hamadryad’s arms onto a carpet of esoteric fiber,
the eyes can for one cursory breath
visualize with incredulity
all the conscript legions of destitute anima
rolling shimmering coins
towards a prism of headstones.

I don't think I can add much more to what has already been said about this piece... it's one that pushes the mind to "think"... nudges with words...

suspended in the mind
by a clothesline of frayed excuses... wow. And I came here to thank you for reading my work and to see what you have shared with us. I haven't had much time on the web and therefore haven't read much. I've only posted a smidgen of what I've written due to my time constraints. In light of the proffered versification you've so graciously bestowed upon us here, I feel doubly honored to know you find it in your generous heart to read and rate my work here. Hugs and thanks again! - BrytEyz

I would say that this is your most outstanding and brilliant piece to date...but it would be so hard to choose, and each new poem you place before us is a new masterpiece! You definitely need your own book of your poetry. :)

whatever the author seesis in his or her mind's eye can be written in ink or blood, then shared with the world at large..this is fantastic.
