Guy in your MFA style poetry
Shark's Skin
Cascading silhouettes, spectre and their shadows
Crashing onto the stage, high contrast blizzard
(is there any other type?)
Returning for reconciliation of forgetfulness
Material Recovery
(as if it can be taken back)
Slips pinned to walls by errant drafts
Unsuccessful at the beautiful pursuit of ignorant cover
(the paradox of shocked eyes)
Only then does it realise the horror
Of its calloused, shark’s skin.
