Poetry: Tome

Evening Dusk

Serena Tome

 
Fertile imagination consumes
Physics’ spectrum wholly as an apple’s
Red. Ripe.
Moist anatomy succumbs
Sharp white phosphorus’ monotonous             up
/
down
movements, sweet invigorating substance—
satisfies eye gate’s appetite for speculative
entertainment

 

Leaves

Serena Tome

 
In]consequential martyrs
Speak beneath decomposing compositions                         oracles
furloughed
until
dehydrated sentiments fizzle
convictions refuse inwardly
to be dogmatic delegates
of self afflicted indigence
