To Love the Weeds

Today's poem is wildly in need of consistent metaphor and yet it has SOMETHING meaningful to say (if only to me):

 To Love the Weeds

 Savories of slivered scream,
 remembered dream of bridges built
 across illusion’s reign
 the simple sparkle of clear water.

 No hiss, no whispered foul shall smirch
 my curtains drawn wide open
 upon these weary shores
 of slow drawn stretch.

 May you be soon reborn to feel
 the glow of autumn’s crimson paling
the slow twitch end of greening hope,
the kiss of forming statue that is inexorably ME.
