Baikal speaks three

Day three

23/03

     1

Draping my face

Across the page

Of Baikal’s

Wordlessness

I take the bait

     2

A penny for your thoughts

A gap big enough

To hold abysmal

Screams

and fathomless fears

     3

Despite the light

Despite reflective sight

Baikal’s darkness penetrates

My mind

And inter-plays

     4

Failing to see

Failing to breathe eternity 

My very own Baikal 
Beauty  
O

     5

Baikal sits astride my heart

A tart legs open wide

Lasciviously

Angel wings beat my brow 
Blue 

     6

Tossed into nullity 
Queen B
Reverses me 

Umbilically 

Out of lifelong woe

     7

Anger stirs the surface one last time

Cutting deep

Slashing tearing splicing

Line on line

Frown on frown

     8

Stepping out I dance

Across the lake

Feel me go

Feel the fallacies

Of things I think  I know

     9
Green the glass
Of bukhta-bay
Brimming story full 
Elves  fairies of Baikal
Sing well-a-day

     10

Baikal bleeds across the snow

Seal clubbed for pelt
                 broken thread

Things come and go
Humankind

     11

Mountains rim my drum

Baikal’s skin drawn tight

Flexing my utter resolve

I crow foot the tale

And beat sinewy time

     12

The world of things

Stars and night

Baikal’s fish eye

Rings them round

Girl widow bride
