The beauty of this reversal is in the breathless dark, / the slow vanishing as you slide into my orbit./ Your lunar face limned in solar gold/ too dazzling to hold in this/ momentary night. . . . #solareclipse2017 #eclipse2017 #naturalwonder #eclipse #solareclipse #geekery #howluckywearetobealiverightnow #poetry #micropoetry #twtpoem #poetteers #poetsofinstagram

I've traded the closeness of the city for the/ closeness of the sky,/ blurred, neon midnights for/ soft, smudged sunsets./ In the quiet, my every breath sings. . . #iceland #Svínafellsjökull #wanderlust #wanderverse #poetry #twtpoem #nationalpoetrymonth #fbf (at Svínafellsjökull)

An umbrella is useless

by Bart Miller CC BY SA

This is the kind of rain for which an umbrella is useless. If you hold it over your head, the rain blows from the side. If you hold it in front of you, rain pours on your head.

When you think the rain has stopped, a single drop falls. You don’t open your umbrella. Then there is another one tempting you, teasing you.

So as not to get wet, defiantly open your umbrella to make the rain stop.

Instrument

These sinews hum, this red drum beats These lips form words to speak. Fill these pipes For you, they'll sing.
