Light: NaPoWriMo Day Ten


When light sticks inside bodies
The viscous imaginary
A protective sheath, a plastic coating, a waterfall

Orbital schema – an awkward grinding
Grey over buoyant grey, a rainbow scrape

When light sticks inside bodies
Bug jelly maths
Porifera make new hydras
Give Zeus the finger
A parthenogenetic hum
stuns the ocean floor

Leaves shoot duodenal refuse
A vein of cellular debris
But, to chop it -
A clutch of pearls through the stained glass
A pawing at the branches

When light is a family of bones
When light deviates
