I caught a glimpse of you as you entered the room
Vibrating at such a high frequency
The darkness scattered
Your reflection hit me like a wave
Temporarily blinding me.
*
I no longer need my sight anyway
After catching the beauty of your eclipse
The final image ingrained in my mind
A spectacle for all eternity
*
I beg you to come forward
Get lost in what I see
Oh, it will be uncomfortable,
Feel unrecognizable
Inconceivable
But enjoyable.
Don't look away
Savor the moment
It's only you and me.
*
Broken many times
You faithfully stitch yourself back together.
Your broken spine has been rebound
With a golden thread that runs through your center
Holding together silk pages drenched in honey
Dripping like a nectarine
Soft, moist, sweet.
*
You are a daily affirmation.
A sunrise prayer.
An outpouring of gratitude.
*
Who cares about perfection?
You are the truth.
I'm glad you found the courage to face yourself today.
*
Love at first sight,
Found in a gilded mirror
Cheers to falling in love again.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
