Reaching

a poem

By Aaron MorrisonPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Set

Start

Now stop

Inhale deep

Acrid iron taste

A gift from uninvited guts

Word shards stick in throat; forehead glistens like dewy morn

Quivering like like golden leaves of a quaking aspen

Sleight of drifting hands caught in the pull of neutron stars in the form of pinky fingers
