Sylvia

Burn or preserve?
Frantic and free unfolding 
During an iron of affliction,
Curtains over Europe 
In 1963.

A brush of leaves in winter.
Frost in the ground 
Killed the morning flower.
Duchess of thrives 

Whereabouts you pin to the 
Stars your signature governess?
Would they look for you over 
Prime Rose Estate,

Or find you St Thomas A.
Beckett Churchyard Heptonstal
West Yorkshire 
Where you rest?

What proof is it you needed 
Digging the father up
To have to find him dead?
It is a real thing,

The will to lay over and not get up again.
Is it encouraging?

I'm off in Spring guiding curtain air sails,
Lorelei Sirens.
When I sit down to it 
I think I will enjoy it.

Oh I just got deja vu. What a wonderful stanza as is all. 

Brings my mind into a swirl of imagery and all sorts, including the Berlin wall,  Kudos Rory. 🌹

Face

It's the face.
I would say it pure
As the face of the moon
Were it not from being...

Long winter's night

Vampires are out. The night is ice.
This long winter's night
Hasn't rested me quite.

Spare

I was unsure before
But I'm not unsure anymore.

The open fields were wider
