through the eye of a needle

Mar 11

gaze through the eye of a needle
and write prayers upon your skin
watch the moon fall
as you discard the caterpillars twin

the elephant in the room
she remembers it all
stop walking under ladders
lest you risk another the fall

smell the scent of the ocean
as their ship passes in the night
then reap what you sow
by turning on the light

breath in deeply
the scent of morning dew
a single blade of grass dances
with every moment anew

This poem is inspired by the book How To Write Evocative Poetry
