Yes, we know there are only 31 days in August, but we just had to continue posting poems through the end of this week!
Breathe. As in. (shadow)
by Rosamund S. King
Breathe
. As in what if
the shadow is gold
en? Breathe. As in
hale assuming
exhale. Imagine
that. As in first
person singular. Homonym
:
in centeroftheworld as in
mundane. The opposite of spectacle
spectacular. This is just us
breathing. Imagine
normalized respite
gold in shadows
. You have the
right to breathe and remain
. Imagine
that
.
Most Poetry will post a poem by a LGBTQ+ poet, selected by our members, each day through the month of August.
