Abandoned Sky Garden

Abandoned Sky Garden

A Poem by Jason Henry

Enough vegetation to suggest negligence;
I reside within the cumulonimbus gift
After climbing Jacob's ladder.
While in awe, on the back of this bird of paradise
I overhear the artificial's apology.
For here, there are leaves drilled by caterpillar dreams,
but they dare not tamper with the indigo petal.
She remains virgin, the lily of the nile.
I stared for so long
Unnoticed was an expanding plateau
and the gray that came.
These eyes were swollen,
but the sky wept first, hitting me on the cheek,
Tricking me, that it was I.
Tricking me to cry.

The infinite plateau went unnoticed
As indigo virgins remain.
And soaked was I from head to soul
With my tears and the rain that came.

"The infinite plateau went unnoticed as indigo virgins remain.". A natural seduction beyond the surface of normal thinking. Its a literary bounty.
