The West Wind will reunite us
will you fill this shadowy space now
that the ashen months are done
and place your thumb where it belongs
in this oval imprint on the soil
I sit beside, guarding it from
the careless sneakers of travelers.
don’t make me wait until
the sun’s lidless eye drills into
the watery crevices of my patience
deceiving me into an exit
but I trust these favonian airs
to bring back my world
my world in her floral top
and high-rise jeans graffitied
Read the rest of the poem Show less
by my own markers, taking her seat
in the earthen throne of my
driveway, she places her thumb
on the oval imprint on the ground
sinking it deeper as daylight
casts its rosy fingers on her face
like Persephone, her domain
my budding tulips.

"Wow, what a theme to focus on! Especially the last few lines, they really resonated with me. You have a handle on imagery. Love it. Maybe it can be smoothed over by handling line breaks better so some ideas can better g…" -
