elsewhere oriel

whilst rivalries of

autumnal dropping-

faces until fading

undoes and goes

illustrates loneliness

as a mountain range

its discovery and discolour and

canyons to lose my kind of rain

evening everywhere

soothes its medicine

its diminishing, of losing

light, and stars awaken

i may tiptoe thru others

thru their melancholic

voices, i make a forest

to enrobe me with sound -

where nature is the only

rhyme, oh my elsewhere

makes me a palace, my room

divine and as starry sighed

into a glacier’s stillness

it is where the eagle climbs

upon breath, listens to

the dusk that deepens pages

a duvet complete with swans

and pillows for ferns, whilst

waters nearby initial their

wilderness, initials their wet song

towards where father shimmers

in amongst the fox cubs chasing

and silver hares racing, makes

vastness of it all, trees, woods, worlds

leans magical labyrinth for a mind to stay lost in
