Onion,
The silent #speaker
Or perhaps spectator
Yawning on
The #kitchen counter
#Seems to
Stir
Some fresh
Subliminal stirrings
Thrashing
The blues-shield awnings

Late to the game after a distracted week, a wee poem that sort of fits #promptcombo #poemsabout #spectacle #spectating

Our Blood Eye

My companion's eye rise and eye set,
colours my eye red. I am their mirror.
I light where hedge of the world is thinnest.
Wax a time of keen delight and horror.

Draw down the light from my pupil. These veins
are dry canals for imagination.
Have you seen the soar of my high mountains?
Map this moment's landscape transformation.

Walk through this geography of my eye, named
by you, reflection of your own vision
looking down at you, my wildness is tamed.
I'm a dead eye, defined by position.

I circle the shape of your dreams, wax, wane
your inner tides, a need to explain.

By coincidence, the #PromptCombo theme this week was #Spectating The themes weren’t exactly inversions or images of each other. But there are fruitful overlaps

Spectating A Spectacle

We erect glass towers that yell;
Members only—
where hollow-voiced CEOs chant, "Growth!"
while the orchestra’s cellos
splinter into eviction notices.

We farm gold fields of grain,
enough to feed every starving mouth—
trade them with rigged hands
while the stock market’s violin sobs;
Famine in D Minor.

We build pumps to bleed the earth
from its dinosaur veins—
while somewhere, a seal pup
pirouettes an accidental shift
into a tar-black swan.

We wire the world in binary,
hoard ghost coins in digital clouds,
as robot billionaires birth AIs—
while the uninsured rest in peace
as @[deleted] profiles.

We launch satellites that murmur,
"turn left in 100 metres"
to cure our chronic lostness—
while they blow kisses as coordinates
to guided missiles.

Oak trees unfurl their shade
like a borderless currency,
roots chasing freedom, not profit—
while their branches draft leases
for birds, in rent-free leaves.

Lush forests share their berries,
like laughter among tails and beaks,
with no barcode on the packaging—
while the wind conducts symphonies
of crescendo mating calls.

Relentless tides arrive each day,
licking life clean without invoices—
while scouring sea-salt hands
stitch the split sky in colour
with rainbow threads.

Bountiful rains code the earth,
in encrypted delugescript,
while the soil deciphers its input—
a treasure without a toll
or discriminating logins.

Migrating birds etch their flight plans
into the wind’s muscle memory—
while an ancient algorithm guides
their path with no coordinates,
toward radiant warmth.

(Continued in the comments)

Eye

He imagines cracks
under every shutter,
the door inched ajar –

eye glaring at his back
from street-lamps
and the headlights

of passing cars. Every
sound from the stairwell
is a demand slipped

under the door,
photographs of women
he recognises as friends

who have comforted him
before. His short steps
tap the floorboards

like the chatter
of window-panes
he hides from

as he passes
through the night
to close curtains

and switch off light.

Eye finds cracks under
every shutter, forces

the door ajar –
eye stares at him
from street-lamps

and the headlights
of passing cars –

understands nothing.

As others noticed, this week's theme intertwines with #PromptCombo #Spectating This one is very old, previously anthologised in 1986 (!), now sufficiently rewritten to be called a new one. Fearful, hopeful against hope❤️🙏

Schrodinger’s Cat

There’s nothing striking or showy from the outside
no fanfare or parade to warm up the audience.
Peer through the windows and you’ll see more
but few signs of intention or movement within.

Behind the door, behind the curtains lies a theatre
of the disfigured. There’s a forlorn school trumpet
and a guitar with a missing E string. I’d ask you
to take a seat but they were long buried beneath

a car crash of flotsam jetsam and everysom. You can
picture situations, you might hear what it’s like
to be there but I can’t show you how to swallow
the unspeakable that boils inside. You see, a box

has two dimensions outer and inner. Schrodinger’s cat
is there if you look far enough into the dark, whetting
its paws, wiping its eyes, bricked-in, a ball of confusion.

Hello @brokenspinearts.bsky.social and host @alanparry83.bsky.social.

It's an unusual week of synchronicity for #PoemsAbout #Spectacle and #PromptCombo #Spectating.

Here's the state of things, rendered suitably enigmatic. Not all spectacles are visible from the outside.

World. A poem by Paul Connolly. First published in The High Window

World

He stopped, momentary prisoner of the weather’s
unreasonableness: heat behind him – he thought 
his hair would ignite – but slipperiness ahead – 
for despite the heat, the slope remained soppy
after yesterday’s storms. So he abandoned
his usual route along the sheep field
and turned onto a faint erosion into the woods.
He sauntered the drenches of murk cool 
where the air retained rainfall vestiges, 
sprinkles of warmth, and occasional baths
hot plunges where marked footpaths
were clearances at ground level reflected
in jagged enlargement by upper gorges
craters of air in the treetop landscape,

and saw a thin felled tree,
weather-split along its spine filled with
fantastical harps and zithers. His inspections
rotated these looms, interfaced them, swirled them
with oil-on-water pigments. They refined
and combed themselves out in wefts
of Havisham hair and gossamer, pulled 
Hepworth and Moholy-Nagy strings taut, 
oscillated White Heat’s waves,
and then uplifted platforms of light 
bejewelled and spangled through with ever-changing
radiance offering hope or oppressing 
with impossible hope the unseen inhabitants 
in the dark canyons and chambers below.

Spectator

When I was a small child
I played a game of silence
not speaking to punish,
a protest swallowed whole.
It went unnoticed.

But inside, I sharpened
an eye greedy for gestures,
the flick of a throat,
the tilt of breath,
shadows behind intention.

Still, I gagged my words,
waited for hush to echo,
learned to track the room—
every shoulder turned away,
every glance ricocheting past me.

Now I move through rooms like glass
clear, reflective, untouchable.
A kaleidoscope turning quietly,
my fractured colours cast by those nearby,
quietly watching
as they arrange me into meaning.

The child never stopped spectating.
She only grew taller
behind the lens.

I, Oak Eye

perhaps, gender fluid or, genderless.
All I have is your gaze. Male or female. 
Call what you see, what you will. Make a guess.
Remain steadfast in your convictions fail.

History sees me as female and mad.
Call me Full Cold Eye, Winter Eye, Wolf Eye,
Full Long Nights Eye. A season to be glad.
Burn Holly, Pine, Oak, Cedar and Ivy,

wreaths as offerings to me that I may 
aid you in your convictions. Smoke blinded
your imagination's creation play
a rich part of your wishes, adopted

I am whatever you wish me to be.
You decide who or what you wish to see.

Hi Ronnie, Thank you for the awakening #promptcombo #spectating. My fourth one is another sonnet from my Red Ceilings Press collection 'Wolf Eye:'

The #poetrycommunity is still responding fascinatingly to the #PromptCombo theme #spectating Examples today include poets looking at themselves while looking and being looked at. And I'm very grateful that mine seems to have struck a contemporary chord. Many thanks for the kind likes and reposts 🙏🙏🙏
