Apple Core
Watching - a dark grey vapour of
flies infect
the apple core of mind. Left lifeless
as the maggots of self-doubt
collect.
Watching a dark grey vapour of
flies infect
and steal. As cells choke I sit,
reflect:
the missing image of the
soulless.
Watching a dark grey vapour of
flies infect.
The apple core of mind left
lifeless.
Thank you for reading,
Lara
Oh I do like that.

ReplyDeleteBeautifully done.
We don't see enough triolets on here. I wish I'd seen this earlier in the week when I had a student arguing about the necessity of meter in poetry.
ReplyDeleteWonderful as always.
Lara, your work is so precise; so beautifully constructed and so delightful to read. More please.
