Poem: "One Fairy Night"

Words spun from sugar

lace up a cocoon 

floating in the night air

the the full flower moon

waiting for stars

to settle like they’re dust

eyes fill with wonder

and wounds fill with pus.

A ghost orchid

and the full moon

I give them the gift

of a shared cocoon

a pearl drop pendant

and a whisper of silk

Dance with each other

’til the stars all wilt.

The garden unfurls

in downy plume fashion

with fluff in the air

a super bloom in action.

Florescent droplets

from a moonlight pipette

this quiet corner

is one deadly experiment.

They shrink and tremble

then open their petals wide

a jaw hanging unhinged

and screams come from inside

but bedrooms and gardens

are made of the same

could not bloom

in the silence which came.
