St Elmo's fire

Posted Jun 23, 2010 · 20 lines · 4 critiques

careful as a hummingbird

she flutters against my window

knocking softly

crying dumb and quietly

shows her sore shoulder

where the blade penetrated

her pain becomes mine

wordless from the sea smoke she slides

to my lost pilot

as deep ocean gardens slumber

the sleeping grains are stirred up

glittering a moment in the movement

before the sediment once again goes to rest

on the perishable's troubled sleep

Read the rest of the poem Show less

a new day germinates

a different day

she takes me to the pagoda

and in its cool room I close my eyes

floating in timelessness away

crying her sorrows
