sitting across me
hands breathing fire
you burn sunflowers
into moonless shadows
remember
touch inky waves
scream amber light
open every sunroof
rotate back to you
For anyone struggling right now, but especially Cin.
poetry: moths, we are
sitting across me
hands breathing fire
you burn sunflowers
into moonless shadows
remember
touch inky waves
scream amber light
open every sunroof
rotate back to you
For anyone struggling right now, but especially Cin.
Bridgette Tales 
Yes. Yes, is that saying enough?
There was a wise man once who said, the only real answer to anything, the only loving answer, is the singular response – yes. Every question and answer has a “yes” answer, even those times when you need lay down the common sense and see in another way.
Try it sometime. A thought experiment. See if you see differently.

Bridgette, and for Cin, I get the feeling that some people need healing in this poem. To me hands that breath fire can heal even the saddest of hearts, the moth flits about among the light eventually landing and becoming calm.I hope that the way I have interpreted your writing is not to condisending, it only my opinion of what I read into as a fellow writer of words with feelings.🙏

Healing. Yes. We can all move toward the light, like a moth, and realize it’s where we are drawn naturally. Thank you for your support and kindness.

Bridgette, I hope I didn’t over step the mark with my comments, I feel as if I am being drawn in to being personal. I apologize for anything written 🙏

Not in the slightest! I love and appreciate your comments so very much. You have nothing to apologize for.
Poetry is personal and emotional. When you can tap into a feeling others understand, that’s when it works really well. This one might not work because it’s too abstract. I’m learning.

A very nicely condensed poem. I’m still tripping over the word “rotate” — I’m too much a literalist, I fear. (except when I’m not, says mister Gemini)

How very Gemini of you (my daughter is one as well)! The intention of that word was for her to rotate back to herself, as if she’s become turned away from who she really is. Is it that the word feels harsh in this context?
