waiting

image by Mostafa Habibi for Magpie Tales

Stasis stretches as far as I can see, perhaps beyond.
Pinned. Embedded. Mind screaming rebellion in
jagged iterative images of sharp red escapism.

Tender dreams compressed to diamond grit
between my teeth, under fingernails.
Blind faith and desperation.

Rain.

Hi Jingle. Things are fine.
It is an ekphrastic poem.
