Aurora in June

Aurora in June

A Poem by J

She becomes the shadow 
you are tempted to hold 
and show the sun to 

as a barrel-chested sky of mourning 
departs, cirrus feathers of orangeblossom 
giving way to a freedom found 
in the sophistry of 
revelation. 

*

A cup half-drained and stowed away 
beyond the walls of your own Eden's orb; 

the commiseration which eventuates 
when all is a fleeting grove of apples 

hurriedly picked and thrown into 
the nearest cardboard box. 

*

Parched and denuded 
roots, what understanding 
of the endless cycle 
of fortune and 

omission, the perspective wrought 
from studying the zodiac and its 
ethereal, limitless 
flaws. 

*

All is fallacy in this broken light. 
The moment is scattered 
from an urn 

into 
the river.

Less than ten views for this piece? What the hell are people thinking? Marvelously visual, romantic but never sloppy, and wonderfully paced. This piece is the whole package.

Wow J! It is so so good to read you. I adore your poem. The imagery is most suitable to a June Aurora, your final verse sparkling in lifes transparency.
