Be still
and know
I AM.
Know
I AM
and
be still.

I planned to skip today.
I mean, celebrating my birthday with the one who gave me birth being gone now two days shy of only two months just seemed–well, too hard.
I even stripped my birthdate off my Facebook profile so it could pass quietly.
I tried to share my feelings with one family member–perhaps not very . . . → Read More: Because it’s My Birthday: Horseshoe Lake (revisited)

Unravel the day
in solferino rivers
that flow to
Eden’s cor.
Unzip my skin,
unwrap lacustrine heart
beside the Horseshoe,
my world’s waters,
and let me simply drink
of Adam’s ale.

I held you captive in my sight
while evil fingers burrowed deep, and
I heard you crying in the night.
While you focused on the light
and pumpkin-apple deer stood watch

I hover over her
squint at tilted back and crooked neck.
Are you comfortable?
She looks up at me.
Are you?
No.

Nothing left but yellow leaves
they fall in earnest now
like tears
and tumble in the wind.
Stripped limps stretch
and reach through gray
to touch the sun and wait.
Hearts ache and break
for moments lost to hardened hearts

A simple response to a T.S. Poetry Press call for cashmere poems.

SUNRISE
by Megan Willome
It’s disgraceful
All this color
Splattered
Pink flung
Purple creeping
Then orange
Why orange?
The clouds grey as the sun puts on bright clothes
Who wastes color like this?
Flinging beauty willy-nilly
As if everyone would see this sunrise

Don’t waste His color!

How did I end up here
wrapped in a circle of poets
(I don’t even call myself a poet)
where we showed up
to taste peaches and wild grapes,
to crush the flesh of nectarine
