"Sunday Best", "Untitled", and "Pomegranate" by Emm Corcoran

Sunday Best


Golden corn, growing up through the middle of the sea -

broken glass, a message in a bottle for sailors and seaweed -

I am running through an underwater field of corn in my dream

Bare feet, but wearing my Sunday Best

Sort of feels like walking on the Moon, but with giant whales

and sunken ships

My hair dancing wild - baby blue glitter sky up above and

the Heavens on my shoulders,

I find eternal peace; the sea is like infinity


Untitled

Inside the funeral home is like Heaven's waiting room;

the pleasant dream-like piano music, the freshly vacuumed carpets,

the flowers,

the absence of any strong scents - making small talk

with a man in a nice suit, who is ushering you into the double doors -

He smiles with a gentle understanding and nods

Everyone just lined up, waiting


Pomegranate

Miracle swan, flowers speaking in tongues

- daylight's halo has sunk beneath the surface

Fruit of the dead in my palm, fresh flowers, Earth's suggestion

A dream of white trees; what will become of me,

living

forever, you're never a peasant with a heart made of gold

Moon looks so lonely - her reflection in the dark water

and tree branches like veins - the

Sun always comes up again, always beating like a heart,

forever
