wow, i haven't posted in a LONG time, mainly due to starting college and lack of creativity. jester's post reminded me that this community needs some fresh winter air, so here's a little poem i wrote yesterday.
Ode to the Window Shade
Crosshatch rice weave filters
These hushed evenings of luminous periwinkle,
Shining through the punched string holes
Like adorning sequins,
Their halos delicate and translucent.
The flexible structure of the blinds
Glows with the reflection of my skin
As I stroke its protruding ribs of starch
And the sequins dance and darken,
Lavender to cerulean to indigo to black,
The silhouettes of concealed rooftops
Biopsied for a fleeting moment.
Through the naked window adjacent,
My eager eyes drink in the
Regal mysteries of the dark night
And sense the hovering of Atlantis.
