An almost unnoticeable masterpiece

March 24, 2021 By Aidan Moloney

My eyes are drawn like magnets  

To the cotton acini of the cherry blossom

In another reality I would lie on that lemonade pink pillow

And find the time to sift through what is unfolding before me

The static canal, a wrinkled mirror

Peacefully disrupted by a defibrillating breeze

Tilting trees lapping at its surface 

To offset the stream of the frosty sun

Daffodils salute me from the opposite, appetising bank

An abrupt drop into a controlled ravine

A glistening, unstoppable curtain

Flooding the scene with a foamy roar

Reverberating off of tide-painted walls

Cacophonously intertwined with traffic’s thunder

The ivory blocks asymmetrically windowed

Infuse the scene with an Iberian twist

An overgrown carpet of reeds blurred by March sunlight.
