Two Short & Sweet Poems About Earthly Togetherness

“Circle Dance”

When I think of you

I know that I am not alone

I know what joy feels like

I know what skin was meant for

And how breathing really works

I know then,

That the end is just an illusion

And that we are

Forever in

A circle dance.

“I’m with my friends”

To your rhythm - I find myself

In your beat - I hear myself

When you shake - I see, all that shakes in me

And I’m not alone - I’m with my friends

I am at home - I’m with my friends.

These poems are part of a series of 25 daily word experiments I am committing to for the month of October. The motto: “Sometimes garbage, sometimes sweet, not fun everyday, but everyday anyway!” Intrigued to experience what can be created (and discovered) in the process of developing a consistent writing practice, I will be writing a poem a day until my Vocal+ subscription ends at the end of the month. Let’s gooooo!
