I laze in the lees,
wallow in the wine-diamond silt
That blooms in dregs
At the bottom
Of the bottle
Decanting denied,
The nutrient earth --
blood & bone
& oyster shell --
is where i take root
& send forth
my tremulous tendrils
to bud up the neck
& reach towards
the faintest streak
of blear morning sun
Julian is a fledgling poet from Melbourne, Australia. He studied literature and professional writing and now works as a corporate shill, selling his corrupted pen to the highest bidder. His poetry is an attempt to make sense of a lifetime of bad choices.
