Chiaroscuro twilight
Dimpled dappled sunbright
Moonmilk silvered starnight, you I see.
Chiaroscuro twilight
Dimpled dappled sunbright
Moonmilk silvered starnight, you I see.
Seems like chiaroscuro is the word for today. I might give the prompt another go when I get nightmares out of my head and that word.
This is for the Secret Keeper’s five word prompt.
CHARCOAL | SHADE | PALE | WAKE | LUCID
In charcoal shade I wake,
the chiaroscuro of twilight,
dog-wolf snapping at my heels.
Ceiling beams lower,
ribbed clouds
or the rollicking innards of a ship,
too dark yet to see the water dripping.
I dreamt of dark men with no faces,
marching down an unlit hall,
narrow as their squared shoulders
and only a boltless door between.
Pale, wintry frost-light
creeps over the cold sill,
and returning lucidity tells me,
the men are merely waiting
for the dusk.
A poem limpid
as spring water
trembles
a raindrop poised
on the petal’s edge
perhaps
not quite
oscuro enough
to live.
