Describe in 10 words the feeling of loss.
LeahShae in Poetry & Free Verse

adrift

heart unmoored

from crumbling ribs.

LeahShae in Poetry & Free Verse

vibes

he goes to church for the sounds:

reverent anapestic

(forev erandev eramen)

rumbling cultic through roof

and rafters then

succumbing to static

and stratosphere -

because so goes the universe and

conservation of motion.

nothing comes from nothing,

null from null -

and he's never been one

to give.

LeahShae in Poetry & Free Verse

explorer

this is a promise

to live a life worth a few grainy polaroids,

worth manic marginalia and Scotch taped trinkets.

here's to

leaving crumbs in my wake.

LeahShae in Poetry & Free Verse

man seeks muse

oh, my not-so-

tortured artist,

aching for an ocean

of heaving bodies, of

rushing breath -

a tempest in which to find yourself,

a torment

worth the ink.

LeahShae in Poetry & Free Verse

{grow a} pair

disentwine your spine

from mine, dear -

in other words,

man up.

distortions

if the body is a temple,

the mind a palace, then

my architecture

shifts

to suit you.
