Danse Macabre
“rarely said aloud and not bound to any objective accuracy” *
Down and outward my gray heart
Gargoyle limbs to earthy plies
feral notes of bodies in flight
Silhouettes whispering
fragments of night.
Venal lunges hide livid eyes
heart on heart
Tongues rush by
emotion in motion
infinite redoubt
An Inner sculpture
forced out.
A secondary image
Of rebirth of
Amniotic streams of the gods
a consciousness
then
Only a trace of blessed skin
another figure
Walking off
freed from Terpsichore’s
untamed heart
infinitely searching
that silence
drowns out her lyre
*from John Loughery’s ‘The Other Side of Silence”
