POEM: Echo Dance

in poetry •  4 months ago


    Light

    grace gravity packs pigment pills


    Dust

    raised moss beds musty leaves and air


    Cold

    walking from a separation


    Warm

    union of your field and my feels


    Clouds

    conformity choked out our voice


    Life

    birds chirped for pleasure and purpose


    Rise

    a coffee and conversation


    Rest

    cozy full moon meditation



    The construct for this poem focuses on the value of identity. Identity of each individual in a relationship and the identity that forms when the two identities coalesce.

    I used the sun as a good metaphor for what is known about identity and the moon for what is felt and what is unknown. The sun and moon both traverse for 180 degrees from the perspective of a human so I used the syllabic pattern 1-8 for the entire poem. Each stanza explores the theme from each human sense.
