i trusted the earth
to catch me as i plummeted
my wings dissolving
when i realized
i had no instinct
to soar

i was not disappointed
in her embrace

Poem 20160131

January 31, 2016January 31, 2016 crow7 Comments

we have some moonlight–
the only clothes we can bear
when we tremble side to side

your heart is a bird
shuddering and flying free
you draw me soaring after

—–

Hat tip to Elusive Trope for writing in this form, a sedoka, and to Shadow Poetry for a fine definition of sedoka and katauta.

down through a blanket of clouds
ears popping
and the pressure between the eyes
reminding me
that i am home
