Don't Dream of Gravity - Lillith Fontaine
I am phosphorous on a winged stallion
a planetary dreamed sequence.
Supersonic through folds of space
Sophia in
atomic silence & primordial wisdom
waits
to hand me the universe
etched on an earthenware vase.
Each hieroglyph each bump
braille under eyelids
scratch them open.
I have awoken
a fragrant lotus on a gilt mirror.
I am the colour of symphony.
a congealed palate of dead stars.
The Jaguar god
that leaps at the sun
to create a tsunami
in a shot glass.
I am thunder’s aftershave
and a perspiration of rain.
Contributor's Note
True to her namesake Lillith Fontaine embodies the night, the emotional and spiritual aspects of darkness; sensuality and unbridled freedom. Inspired by the magic of words she is a believer that they can unlock universal truth. She writes poetry based on reality and fantasy while balancing a blessed life of full time work, travel, the quintessential companion cat and feverish erratic writing.
