#1386 - operatic moment - Macao

 



1386

18.x.23

4.291

operatic moment

Macao of all ages

ekphrastic for Konstantin Bessmertny’s ‘Praia Grande I/II’

 

this is my

colour pours out

and another

 

drum rolls past

a sky has come apart

 

calligraphy drags

gold as on the Bund

smoke and signs and hearts

 

sea in our sails

all this past sunk

the island in the boat erupting

 

pennants and monsters

a gust of hill

teapot afloat

 

those angels twitch their wings

just a few breaths left of the river to run

 

sword raised

but the bottle wins
