Poem a Day

Poem a day

Yesterday afternoon

I cried, feeling you wane,

Because I really needed you this month

I really needed you this year

and you were there for me!

Yesterday there was a thin cloth of pain in my chest 

So I cried it alive

Until I was crying in a pained wonder

For our maintained space

Like a secret garden

Of shared feelings

Lost each year 

And found again

Like clockwork 

Like literally as the hand goes from 1 to 2

Poems flow

Like the tree down the street 

that blooms pink blossoms 

once a year in April

Out of nowhere I poured myself into a shared space

With no realization it would continue

Until it continued and continued 

And waited for me to stand back 

in awe and in pain
