Lucy captures my mood today – a beautiful poignant poem
tread for days
blood pours
in a drowning
diving into oceans.
A murmur
in the stillness
of the sea
absent in the lunula white,
weeping in the dying of the eventide
may you decide to leave
as the crawfish float in unyielding waters,
delusional, still seeking
the innocence of the rock,
give it a kiss for me
before you leave it
on the grave,
dying in the autumn
once a tree stood.
A/N: Written in response to the Go Dog Go Cafe’s Tuesday Writing Prompt (7/7/2020): Write a poem or piece of prose around the words “in the stillness.”
I hope you enjoyed the read, and as always, thoughts, feedback and critiques are appreciated.
