The Welcome Party

A celebrity
Takes a selfie
With her photographer
Who takes photos of her 
             taking her selfie..

Her summer scene perhaps green screen
Lead-lining her possibly CGI body..
Still 
She might be real..

The photographer frames her 
into selfie artifact 
Her tether form
Her ether quintessence
             slips on this new force field 
                       fans the siphoning blizzard
And everywhere
Songs of sirens echo
Ringing theremins...

I shall float on a broken window
Imagine how we might look through there
My longboat of mud and broken window
With a broken window sail
Let us fare 
Through seas of ether we seek..

And many children as adult children
Dance and fuse with the mirrored shellac
As reflected phantoms swoop and glide 
They sail down..

And plenty keep watch from the shoreline
The welcome party
So the cargo cult know they have arrived
Propelling the new myth-dream
Fit for Purpose
The broken window looking-glass gaze
Has it ever shone so fair..

wowzers - simply wowzers Mr Spankles. This goes so well with your profile pic - I've said it before, one of the best on WoL. Don't go changing...

I am so intrigued by the second half of this word journey - the longboat image, welcome party, cargo cult and myth-dream. But maybe I'm just picking out and interpreting what I want in my own way which your writing allows us to do so well. So brill. So Suki. So jealous. Not sure why the song sprang to mind but hey, I'm sure it's been a while since he's had an airing on WoL.

pass the canapés and champers.
