Sixfold Poetry Winter 2021

Page 117

Let there be Let there be star-filled galaxies, Oceans filled with plankton lessons Bubbling up from the deep, dark sea. Or more wanton: Four-leaved clovers field-full for luck, dappled light, Flowers, flight, Known and unknown Faces, another life. Also terrors best forgotten, Fangs and fur, tearing teeth, While you sleep In a skin on skin embrace, Tangle of limbs. All will Be clear. Be careful What you take. It comes with you When you awake.
