I have really been enjoying the practice of writing a few lines scattered throughout my day. It has enlivened my sense of productivity, both in poetry and work, I think.
Here are a few of my working-girl poems:
Arranged by volumes
. of water ways through
tension accentuated by sunlight
. Inclement anticipation
all salt raked and tender
. heart full of longing
_____________
Congestion of thought and expectation,
. longing, desire, confusion —
we collect moments, represent them
as volumes of letters compiled
. with a notion of tomorrowness–
________________
Re – view your expected outcomes
look wisely at
. time strength development
This sleek design desired
look with clear vision
what unfolds before you will surprise
. even the most patient visitor
Now, deeply in conversation
. or conversion from —
______________
Shut out the din of door-slamming silence
. follow the index to the next site of aversion
the swift clicking in the adjacent stall
provides distraction and pause hum beep
we shift focus, ease into our yesterdays
and tomorrows — the slide of your barometer
calls for rain showers.
