Occultation
I’m gonna do that thing
where I thread a single moment
through a current tapestry
to prove that timelines
always converge eventually.
Patterns & portals
are all I ever dream about.
Geometric storms
are all I can see when I
squint into the face
of every birthed dawn.
The birds sing of nebulae
& I want to be entangled in them.
The house is always scary
when it’s filled with all
I need to face. But I can
glimpse the Earth changing
through the venetian slats
because the one thing
that remains constant
is that I’m still here.
I crave connection,
not content. Creation,
not cumulative views.
I purge accordingly
all I find dizzying
& nauseating.
Resuscitated by simplicity,
I accept this beautiful new.

This one was a combination of various dream notes from last month. I have a habit of waking up & writing something down that always surprises me in the morning. Thanks, Dominic.

You ended this poem so solidly, and I found myself in total agreement with your words.
Thank you for participating this year. Even if we only get 4-6 poems from you, it’ll be worth it!

I liked this one a lot, Jennifer. I rarely remember my dreams, but when I wake up from one and I do recall an interesting idea or concept, I try to make a note of it.💤
