Tangled Fluorescence
by Lauren Hynde
Rain tries to dilute
the progression of shadows
an exercise rendered useless
by the passage of time
a dark substance
contrasts neon signs
delivers them fully legible
to the night
moss grows without the support
of walls like budding
on a bath of vapour
a permeable mist
where light flows
condensed within
the glass and the water
multiplies it
numberless crystal
(re)flexing colours on the air
breaks
drop by drop
always the percussion
of an obsessive hum
rushes a fabricated winter
until the fractured letters
spill through the windows
scintillate through our sleep
foam spills off the screen
soap, or sea
but for now it's only time
and rain
trying to dilute
the progression of shadows
the progression of time
builds a rainbow
above the haze
where we can light
a single jet of fluoride
flames out of winter
from heaven to heaven
to same cloud forgetting
all horizon references
make familiar strange places
the light the day
we imagine different times
relearning how to breathe
the ephemeral air of each room
when neon fog fights the rain
illuminates us without diluting
the weight of the crepuscule
and our tangled fluorescence.
