Coveted
By Lewis R. Humphries


Astride the Harbour Bridge, bright radiance

shimmers through an airless summer, and gilds

the passageways of stone and providence.

Were it not for these columns of light, and

their multifarious smoulder, he would

not have glimpsed the portends of her splendour.



Journeyed beneath the steeled arch, she is

heedless of her beauty, as she weaves the

indiscernible threads of time through her

fingers; and marvels at the neon blaze

of simulated day, its steeples

plunging through the course of cobalt torrents.



Her contemplations, imbued through mottled

rivulets, are not inflected by the

thrusts of his overt intentions. She is

sentient only to the malleable

melds of dark then light, his presence cast in

the consequent sheathes of far pitched shade.
