For today’s prompt, write a surrender poem. A person can surrender to the authorities or a mob, but people can also surrender to a feeling or to music. Or leftover Halloween candy (at least, “my friend” has had that problem). I hope you surrender to your poetic impulse.
Backwards Ocho
Two tango lessons in
and the lesson is - surrender.
Feel, resist, surrender.
This is easier
when I shut my eyes
and become, in myself
one thing, not a swirl
of impulses - darting, not a storm
of sensations - uncollected, but a body,
a female body
directed, backwards
offered moments
to flourish - quickly -
here
then surrender.
