Indigo

[LunarPlexus]

I heard it slip in the night.
Laying
Tranquil

Upon SIMPLICITY.
Indigo cotton paradise.
Slicing rudely through the fabric of DREAM.
Listen, it tripped.
Sawing faint and vague,
SMALL
Fragile.

Pulling shyly, far away.
No regret, no struggle.
Tiptoe over the quilted landscape,
a hand raised, halfhearted, in weak protest.
Drop.
A tug, gentle, now.
No reasoning.
Gone

I had heard it slip in the night.
So quaintly.
There was no battle.
No regret.
Only change.

I woke terrified that I would live.
Raised myself, dropped.
I can postpone a little longer.

Turned my head upon SIMPLICITY,
Settled into DREAM,

And indigo cotton paradise.

I would formally like to BUMP this...I never did get to hear what people thought of it. If anyone would like to share comments or suggestions, please do :)

I like it because of the hushed moments of suspense contained within it and the obscurity of things that go bump in the night.

I think the use of uppercase distracts from the poem itself and perhaps restructuring the format could help with the suspense of the poem too.

Otherwise, well done and I look forward to reading more of your poetry.
