Unrhymed Minutes

 

.. 

Untimed, she chains herself in song
slips words to sky,
stills her heartbeat
to trebled moon.

Too soon, she finds the world bleeds by
and steals her breath;
her slanted sigh
a troubled pause.

Just cause for holding all things loose,
a quiet truce
with empty hands.
Blank page, she stands.

..
This is a variation of the “minute” poetry form, for Quickly.
Head over and check out the prompt.

    Oh my gosh, I really love this.

    1) I had to turn “trebled” into “tre(m)bled.” The moon really wants it that way.

    2) I love this: “Too soon, she finds the world bleeds by” … all the longer lines, really.

    Very nice, particularly the last stanza.
