Reflections on a Friday

By -
There is nothing new under the sun. Even death has been done before, in vinegar thorns and mourning for the confused. All that we don't know, He knew — stepping through Hades barefoot to become shepherd of the unshadow. What you think can't be held, He holds — loneliness turned to stone  when He joined hands  of the impossible. LJ Ireton

Sybil and the shroud

By -
Gossamer slips between my fingers, hovers over a mirroring grey-white froth on the sea.  I think of the sleeping stones; unsettling, unsettling their secrets. I let mine fly — the sunrise eats the veil of them and day feels so desperately  different  and the flowers untinted. Inspired by 'The Knight and the Moth' C. LJ Ireton 2026

The outline of the owl

By -
eye to the lense  landscape fades irrelevant  at your obsidian eyes to mine, a dusk-white, glass wild moment; like you waited, stone serious for me to carry that heavy look away.  C. LJ Ireton, 2026

Waiting to be seen

By -
like a liminal Cinderella, between two masks; keeping one hand on the shoe  in my pocket and one on a flask of tea — those who don't watch the clock  could read me in seconds.  C. LJ Ireton, 2026

On the balcony

By -
Used plates clink bright above, below; ceramic notes of a Xylophone  we are all playing. C. LJ Ireton, 2026.

About songs acknowledging the feeling

By -
A song is a skipping stone on a bone-still lake, roads deep dropping into the stomach  of the found. One hundred times a water kiss — the head tilt familiar naming something  for the city sunset hungry. Then the submerge — playing fish-scales  down as lonely bubbles and calling bells meet  in new and old voices.  LJ Ireton, March 2026.

Siren

By -
The sun had harboured  the eminent red  of the moorhen emerging now through the weed of winter — war paint ready to a tentative  spring lake.  C. LJ Ireton, 2026
