Poems from prompts:

Prompted by spartezda -

i)

Night and Memory lie
entwined in the halls of Aeolus.
Sleeping, the wind-god dreams
of earthen wombs,
caves of eros,

Prompted by clarentine -

ii) "Death of an Octopus"

Soft-slime-skinned,
pseudopods curled in
octopodian snarls,
on the rock-shore below
the lighthouse with
salt and ice on the wind,
ice and salt on your lips,
you stood witness
to a silent sin:
let the ink-stained waves
reclaim their kith and kin.


...I did say I didn't promise "good" or "likeable".
