So, this year, I am doing NaPoWriMo again, but with a friend. We are emailing each other poems each day, often quite late. But we are writing the poems! Which is the purpose. This year, I decided not to publish each poem each day. However, I am going to publish a few. And, here is the first – Elements.
Elements
On the day of
Swords
angles abruptly cancel a convergence of soft petals
on the day of
cups
bowls of frankincense soften the pallor of starlight
on the day of
reason
elevations of glass shards shoot up and obscure the open long field
on the day of
feeling
overflowing liquids immerse my feet
on the day of
disks
the earth is torched by thieves
on the day of
wands
the suffocation of children is silent and linked to wind moving upon soft openings
on the day of
wealth
the green shoots are labeled and monitored as they levitate
on the day of
energy
the algorithm opens the satellite’s interior light
