Chaparrals of evergreen


Another one of my poems has been accepted for publication in 14 magazine (release date is 1st October but I've been told that the news can now be shared here).


I hope you like it!


Chaparrals of evergreen


In chaparrals of evergreen irrigated

by comprehension’s channel

Hollyleaf cherry tooth leaves

shone their light

on all the methodology for saving lives

White flowers were medical symbols for the sick

Their colour was near bleakness

compared to purple-black fruit

That flesh was kindness

of the spontaneous sort

The best sort?

The permanence of such shrubbery reflected

the preserving of souls

Salvation with steadfast songs
