leaving LA

dusty twilight charged and smoldering fades to indigo
clarinet-throated swans mourn the fall of night
nocturnal beasts come by the hundreds to water
here at silver lake

faraway dogs are brawling -he lights up- plans pour into my ear
moulten visions of erotic dancers
bejeweled desert caves
the wicked, in rythmic rictus
laughing
bleeding from a stab in the thigh
unaware
phosphorescent waves break and blink
burning flotsum mushroom toward the lapping sea
he inhales casually squeezing my shoulder
wading into the future

a carpet of fire-crested egrets
burn snowflake lace into the granite hillside
rippeling claw fingers assist a

my end

drifting down
through layers of silt
to the bottom
of the lake
an amber gold leaf disapears
with my breath
tugging small animals in its wake
stirring motes dodge and lurch
looking up through twilights last haze

I used Neat Image to reduce the noise from enlarging it from a tiny image. at least you can see it better.

Absolutely spellbinding. I was hooked from when I caught the thumb on :devsurreal-arts:. Wonderfully thought-provoking in every possible aspect. Thank you for sharing <3

Thanks, if u look at the description of the drawing, you will see that it was stolen and recoverd many years later.

`snowmask Jun 14, 2009 Professional Traditional Artist

I did read that

And wonderful that you had recovered that.

I have an undergrad degree in English and LOVE references to poetry. I have a GREAT respect for WB Yeats and especially this poem!

You're depiction of the Swan/Zeus is wonderful!

*Deborah-Valentine Jan 2, 2009 Professional Traditional Artist

Thank You, yes it has always fascinated me

~Decarabia69 Jan 3, 2009

I've been looking to some poetry lately as inspiration for new works. I think I've found the perfect one to coincide with the end of the Bush Presidency!
