- Beau Beakhouse
Willow like Wisteria
The serrated curling ferns
pulsate at their edges
like convex turns in walls of glass
Willow trees like wisteria
hang
like separate chandeliers
their knotted branches bow like
lit lanterns
in ancient silver castles
Their long thin leaves
like bunched waves of golden auburn hair
flames curling together
in multitudinous coupled curves
Everything is wet and soaking
Browning pine needles coat the floor
in spaces designated
for timeless forests
Purple peach flesh,
bitter plums
the suction bruising left after a kiss
The colour of this
exudes from within the green...
