what is outside the mind
By Nicole B
underneath / beside
riven cliffs / sighing waterfalls
a ghost gum / the girl drapes light as a
still / dream into watching
how fast / grow old
these lands already half-swallowed / skies gape as she
pummelled by the suns / sails through forest
revenge and echoes / woollen the girl illuminated
on our time / between the webs the pollen
trapped in stones far / a new tendril and it coils
underneath forgetting. / beside her
