Amber's Angle


Amber's Angle


The slant of sepia vision
 steals reality
                                            right out from
                                                     underneath me, and the light simulates transcendence.
                                                                             I walk one way, you
                                                                                  another,
                                                                                  waking with
conviction,
falling straight
                                                                                                                                        through.
Plant me tall where they've cut you out.
       The plane swinging, I'm reaching, noisy,
 up once
more, talking
         toppled over, waxing jagged, finished.  Shaded lines in unison embrace me
                               and diamond
tailed, you dive down.
                          We meet,
                                      texture upon texture,
                                      the thatch
now crowning and
                      angels fling us far above the throbbing
pulse of rain.

  1. This is an incredible piece of poetry - so evocative of Escher's picture but you have given it a texture all its own.
    Thank you for participating on Real Toads.
