Microdigression

A tiny poetry project. Published in the analogue world for national poetry month.

[microdigression]

In stages I grew estranged from you tipping forward to be birthed wondering where I’ve spent myself Here I have no name I am quilted with textures that abrade me I am cold bleeding stories that are frozen I earn to be disturbed by song to be awakened by boiling light to chance speech in accents that betray me Amongst hidden memories I discover companies made of villages cornels cut from ministry White clothes buried scattered under years of fallen trees baptized with soil planting leaves leaving trails backwards testing that I follow testing that I look that I dig and I find that it threatens me to know I may have been born at the edge of an arrival

Gabo dies, returns

twelve dozen red butterfly wings

spring from a cluster

lift toward the light

pull me home

a plant i cannot name

carrying a dream

The scenery passing is the surest sign you're moving.

when faced by tension hand to shoulder held close by hand ease together with breath in rhythm is what's happened only once  mind wanders through.

salty, halt-y, at once fit and faulty fairly optimistic I can channel my adult me cult me, dreaming of my followers on Twitter, little me surfacing from damp deep winter.
