when i love you next it will be gypsum
a worm of blood under tobacco crepe skin
a soiled family portrait,
seeping, diseased, sepia
it will be march in svalbard
sun rise
sun set
when i love you next it will be embers
forest fires , apple cores and faded lace
a snapped breath drawn out to cretaceous sigh
a tapered prayer, a hail mary,
ascension.

Wow! Don't know what else to say really, but this is great, really enjoyed it. Love all the images, but particularly the Svalbard lines x
Quite gothic, like Rossetti or Byron maybe, Stu. Very colourful imagery and so expressive. Almost a transition to afterlife. I love tobacco crepe skin!
