Poem of the Week: Parallel by erratik_statik

Good morning, darling

I hope you are well.

Take a breath,

inhale the ink-dredging sunrise

that creeps over the hilltops

and chases the frost back to the lake.

Let the children dance,

softly, raindrops on your irises,

as sparrows laugh at their stumbling

and their shadows catch them when they fall.

Feel the sand disintegrate between your toes

as the cats claim your vision with their backs,

and the flowers open like

curious clamshells.
