'Flashblind' by Quinara

[quinara]

So, I basically would have failed this month if I didn't do any poetry at all. It's Buffy in S6! Because obvs.

Prompted by Rafael Campo: The cemetery's moon a kind of drug / That makes forgetting possible.

This is so perfectly Buffy in this period. Well done.

[quinara]

Thanks very much! :)

Bleak. Oh, bleak. But beautiful. All those visuals of light/dark/wounds, and then nothingness. Yes. Brava!

[quinara]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Apparently light is scary...

[bogwitch]

It's better than Keats!

[quinara]

Ooh, you flatter me...

it’s when you’ve only seen the shadow - then
it’s easy to forget the sun - and you,
I know you’ve long forgotten how it burns and how
the glare can carve across you, searing bright red wounds

Oooh, very nice.

[quinara]

Thank you! :)

Oh, wow. Painful, and beautiful.
