James Jefferys - Stilettohouette


Plunge through Autumnal stillborn umbers, then
Lumber under a monochrome mile
Of unironed platinum sky.
Your stilettohouette hurts through the curtain,
Surpassing rehearsal
Indecensual to humiliten me – intimate scoundrel
Born of boundaries, peeking round all corners

Omniscient bugles lose all their
Right to first refusal.
Splintered cretin
Hope will not do.

Expected, of course to recover fully –
Subject to the wonders of nature’s pulleys
Of angel-wing thread that Gabriel shed.
But seething, three-pronged, something else comes along
And I’m relieved to be wrong
Rougher than some thoughts, I’ll suffer the comfort
Soiling the mattress. Enjoying the sadness.

Omniscient bugles lose all their
Right to first refusal.
Splintered cretin
Hope will not do.

Afar, a cat asleep atop a car
Unfazed, the face of the faintly praised –
To be this blasé about today
Intimidates tomorrow.

Omniscient bugles lose all their
Right to first refusal.
Splintered cretin
Hope will not do.
