red vines pop against walls,
unspin themselves
off gravity, then falter
like a pair of pin-hole eyes.
she wears her scars agape-
an unmoored Arachne- spins
metamorphosis down her
dystopic limbs.
this march is cold.
clouds wilt with grace.
i feed on a carcass of air.

Very interesting poem–so interesting to think of the vines in that spider form, weaving, and the air itself left over. k.
I’m actually intrigued by this abstract ~ I specially like the wearing of scars agape & clouds wilting with grace ~ Sharp imagery in your short verses ~
Thanks for participating & wishing you Happy Week ~
a carcass of air..heck.. that’s an image that will stick with me for a bit..
wears the scars agape….that whole stanza in this is very nice…
nice use of language….
To feed on carcass of air.. So stifling – like a fish on shore..
Stunning images, Mohana, and the verbs you chose really give life to the poem.
A unique take on the month of March….month of serious winter countered with hope of spring….interesting red vines, all.
