Sanlam Sing 'it finalist: "Liquid Stone" by Jo Folscher

Liquid stone

Liquid stone slips through your veins
Tearing gently, oh so gently
Reflecting secret smiles that know
the universe of broken dreams
is the smoke and mirrors of your prestige
Concrete light finds your skin
Laughing madly, with reserve
You know the house of fun and games
will not stand tomorrow

Tomorrow, along came a spider with tomorrow
The joke is on you
Yesterday, along came a spider with insanity
The word we need
Today, heavy threads that bound the widow and the night
Slip through your veins like liquid stone

History is your mistress and your veil
Shifting slightly, ever so slightly
Hiding nothing, revealing something
Left here when time began
with all the violence of a breath
Longing reminds you clearly
More clearly than the home you left
The home you left in ruins
for me to find and mourn
