Once upon and
once again –
twice more until
done down and
stay down this time.
From another another cry
cornered to my corner
rain down the head piece
rain down the wallpaper
reciprocal to inter-tidal
pooled in pools.
Now some lunk with a lug
hawks the carpet like a wave.
Finally wrestled the doors shut
the floor is ours a moment
stretched an hour.
Here and quietly
here we held
each one singly,
one each time
and back again
and back.
Image: from my favourite place in Sydney, the Domain Parking Station travelator. A bit of abstraction for Dverse on Tuesday where Lillian has asked us to use that old stock phrase… in new ways. And here’s the final duel from Once upon a time in the West (Bronson, Fonda, Cardinale, Sergio Leone, and Ennio Morricone)
very interesting and melodic play of words

from once and once to another to rain down rain down to finally to single, one and back again.
Interesting word play indeed.

Me too, the four-dimensional geometric variations , Peter. For me, it transmits a feeling of being trapped in a storm, and then a tranquil passing, warm memories. Great image, although it brings back my own memories of being lost in strange places.
