Learning to LiveA Poem by Eilis
Like flower petals the days have fallen
away. Counting, childishly, all the meals I could not eat, I have stored the numbers like wafers under my tongue instead. Count the moons as they give birth then disappear. Love is as tangible as myth. Pleasure a luxury for daffodils that nod over water, rapt by January winds bending their bodies closer to the source of reflection. Hold your hand up/shade out the sun. Watch the birds dart toward some distance unreachable even by trees. All things will gather at the gate of ends eventually © 2024 EilisFeatured Review
