swept down (20170514)

Posted on May 14, 2017 by crow

everything must slope downward
water will roll down the
smallest of
inclines

the silent moon will fall forever
toward an earth fleeing it
for a much larger light
my words circle the
drain before
reaching
you

The potent imagery in the last stanza made me dizzy! Whirly gig, baby.

I re-read this one. It’s my favourite of your recent poems. Perfect gem

  Thank you so much. It’s not as moody as some of the other ones, that’s for sure.

    I like moody. I just think this is a really special piece
