Liguria
TAMSYN CHANDLER
|
Stream rising from the hot springs of the Night
Pools of healing waters and roman baths Like the scenes of young boys as Bacchus hanging on my Lambeth wall, And maps of the Ligurian coast, a Vatican for the senses. The oval shadow of my jewellery box hits the corners of shadows and makes them Bronze. Osiris offers Isis a bunch of water lilies, still trailing with moss It almost seems as though she might prefer the clementine ambers of a necklace hanging off her nose The single bulb sheathed by a tea stained lampshade swing to and fro In the late September heat of an attic room a while ago. |
