Hourglass Body. I am a hourglass. Sand falls whether anyone is watching. Years become grains. My body becomes the glass someone believes they have the right to empty. There are questions that are never asked. #poetry #poem
I am a hourglass. 
Sand falls
whether anyone is watching.
Years become grains.
My body becomes
the glass someone believes
they have the right to empty.
There are questions
that are never asked.
None of it alters
the measure of time.
Only the indifferent arithmetic
of another minute passing.
Sometimes coercion is not a hand
around the throat.
Sometimes it is a debt
placed quietly on the table.
Placed neatly beside is the suggestion
that refusal has consequences.
The suggestion 
that surrender would be easier
that no one will come.
So the sand continues downward
through my narrow glass throat.

One grain.
Then another.
Until the body understands
what the mind cannot bear
to name:
that silence
is not permission.
It is fear. 
That endurance
is not desire.
It is fear.
That remaining
is not agreement.
It is fear.
By morning,
the bed looks innocent.
I remain,
emptying myself 
without witness.
Another grain
disappearing
down my neck. 
Another second.
Another grain. 
Then another.
Until time itself
feels like something
being taken 
along with my hourglass body.

how to abandon ship

clasp your hands together
renounce cowardice
decide it isn't giving up
believe it and jump
the water's colder
than anything you've ever felt
but your heart 
your heart beats so fast
you think 
you might come alive again
you think 
you might even swim

Poem for Monday 🍂 Keeping Things Whole ~ Mark Strand —This is always the case. Wherever I am, I am what is missing —
In a field
I am the absence of field.
This is always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.
When I walk
I part the air and always
the air moves in to fill the spaces where my body's been.
We all have reasons for moving.
I move
to keep things whole.

The versions of me that have populated the year thus far all weep different. I weep for who I lost. Sorrow in sunken sunken-sins shadowed so slow and smooth. An unstable ego echoes resentment. I am not ok. Homeostasis eludes me. Acknowledgments. #PoetrySky #MicroPoetry #MentalHealthSky #vss #Dark

Quarrels



The muse has left me,
tired of my whys and my hows.
The muse has left me
for I wouldn't let it use my eyes. 

The muse has left me,
layers hurled, calling each other dead.
The muse has left me;
its absence crushes as it spreads. 

The muse has left me
with its scent of minor key and migraine.
The muse has left me,
imprint of fingers meant to restrain. 

The muse has left me
but won’t drift too far from home.
Nothing creates itself from nothing,
nothing destroys itself alone.

She told us a story. We sat with rapt attention as she meandered, turned and looped back on herself. It was clear to all that she was lost, but we didn't care. She painted such wonderful images with her words that we could have listened to her for hours.
