Meeting Fronts (Free verse) by emilyowey
Fingers chasing under rain
Tapping puddles, pushing time
Lambs and clouds and imperfection
Immaculate yet dripping stains.
Friendless flowers bow and tremble
Radiate a timeless flow,
Of lovely dirt and heinous silk.
Toes are bouncing, padding, shuffling
Water washing streets with mud.
Sloshing in a sea of pure, clean drops
Of thunder
Noise boxes, cubes, round and smooth
Teeth that gnaw
At the sky
But only for a second
A flash of backward seeing nothing
The tearing and nothingness and
Light
The luminous air is suppressing
To the words that come.
Then breathing begins again.
