in one of those mornings dripping
light peaks
in through curtains that glide to my mood
swings and primroses are hissing like cats
the pouring of congealed thoughts gets interrupted
by noise of voids
but it’s poised to begin again and again
through lifetimes
I can almost have the wind
then it’s also perfectly okay that
I don’t recognize my face
on which every eyelash is destined
the sort through these frames
a precarious canine smile enduring
long after I perish
like flipping through humanity’s album
then maybe stopping wouldn’t be such a
bad idea — would be white space
the mornings are also nights dangling
the moon I write about — bottom of a glass
through which I look and hear
the whispers of the sun in another galaxy
Author Bio: Writing gives me a scalpel-like precision to dig out otherwise buried thoughts, a stage to sound out otherwise inexpressible thoughts. Among the vastness of writing’s universe, I find poetry in particularly to be the most fitting medium for thoughts, feelings and ideas that are unusual and absurd and strange, nonetheless, that which hold so much weight and materiality. With poetry, I can be precise but indirect, my ruminations concrete but abstract. I also post (now sporadically) my admittedly mediocre writing on my Insta @written.k ; I’m still very much learning and growing as a writer, and would appreciate immensely if we could connect on there!
