A Hearty Repast
original poetry cyclepart I (of VII)
I.
I feed upon ghosts
(Their ectoplasmic broth is my soup stock)
And dine in silence on the pier.
I gaze out upon the eerie waters &
Discard my shell-fears in exchange
For sand dollars luminous with promise.
My guilt disowns me, lifts itself:
A spindly carcass fuming skyward,
Rising like the blue smoke of dawn.
My scales of memory shed me &
Cast my pink skin into brine;
Flung into saline suspension
I levitate in nebulaic plasma.
Twist through fragmented spacetime;
Chronotic waves buck the ancient frigate,
Impel its coiling course through
A wilderness of wandering stars.
With an ashy wand of heartwood,
Halt the genocide of insects
With a cone of junglous air.
Foreboding courses I pursue through
Invisible chasms consume me
With only the merest pause to
Refresh myself with the water of life
Which, as it trickles down my spine,
Bursts my thorn-toes into dreamloam.

Wow. Great one. I don't entirely understand what you are getting at, but the images are fun. 1 of 7... a series, eh? I'm looking forward to the rest.

I love this feedback... thank you!! It did come out rather abstract, didn't it? Some of the other sections will be a bit more concrete. I don't want to totally give away what it's about :)
Yes, since I always do one-off more or less independent pieces, I am challenging myself to write a 21-part poetry cycle in the next three weeks, with three main "chapters" having 7 parts each. Hopefully it will be fun and turn out decent. Thanks for stopping by @dbooster!

The water of life pierces the time, plasma treats the frigate in stormy waves - dilemmas. The nights come to visit my ghosts who are making a career in my food. Ridiculous days carry winged animals in the country of lunatics, poetry wanders from ear to ear. Exellent @d-pend
