specks of rain tap
on dark window;
tree branch lit
by streetlight swaying
we rest on shoulders
of night breeze, hemming,
hawing through hours,
wet air, open window
ego pulls this way,
that; shadows rock up,
down walls; ever stirs
our little pot of storm —
shame, pride, joy,
disappointment, shame,
pride, joy, tap, breeze,
disappointment, dark,
wet, shame, haw — soul
mixed into night, hem,
repeat; shadows rock up,
down walls, ever stirring
Yes. “ever stirs/our little pot of storm” and the repeated phrase “shadows rock up”
I can see that tree branch and love how that one image takes you on this human journey.
(p.s. I am a little aggravated with WordPress because your poems aren’t showing up in my daily following feed. Again.)
