A Poem a Day (206): A vanishing


A vanishing

We are the gathering,
A stand in motion,
Vast expanse of play.

We leave it all behind
Only to resurrect it all,
Watching a sepia playback
Smother the storm.

Spill it out, black + white,
All the dates you collected.
Wrap your calendar in honey,
This ritual of not knowing.

You’ll feel it grow inside
From the smallest seed
Until it’s the darkest cloud
You’ll walk beneath.
And then you’ll disappear.
