First Moments and Again

First Moments and Again

A Poem by Marian Elizabeth

I’ve been trying to pinpoint

The genesis of a habit

The unorthodox first breath

That dissolves a wall of life

With a bashful wave of vice

Containing a newfound love.

I’ve been trying to retrace

The frenzy the new sun felt

When it shone his firstborn light,

The shiver the moon pulled through

When she heard her own throat laugh,

The false languor of the flower

As death ate her in her prime

Just when she saw her hue

In the falling raindrop glass

That a summer storm procured.

I’ve been trying to pinpoint

The second my eyes made tears

Which electrified my hands

Into molding up a poem

Of mashed up clouds and blue thunder

When I thought my light had died.
