Day 2

Write a full moon poem. The full moon might be a character or symbol in the poem. Or the poem might address what happens during a full moon: magic, mischief, madness, etc.


Tides

Pull on this inhale
and expose the dancing, tumbling shells
fragments
little parts of the self, insecure
or not wanting to be seen
scrambling to dig into the cover 
of the seen-now psyche
vanishing in little bubbles, shy  

and this
this exhale
Pull 
and from me
my brevity
details
this name and the edges
of this body
day after day pull, 
my small history pulled

Out now
deeper

Drawn and smoothed
under your light
dispersed wide
given of and into everything

the window
the ocean
this self
the same
