waiting for the night

Almanac
The Acorn
There’s a season in your eyes
and a fever on your breath
you’re anchored to the tide
and the rhythm in your chest
I read the rings and count the city lights
you sing a static sonnet on the dial
you could talk a walk, through the mines
or you could spend all your days
just waiting for the night
the stones that skip, the dust that turns to fire
I see it all reflected in your eyes

Love your poem. I guess everyone could benefit from a spot of editing..especially severe edits such as you provide. I like your version the best.

Thank you. It is always my goal with a found or black out poem, to create something entirely new. Words are words. 🙂
