Overheard Overhead

{found poems in moon thought}

 

..

As far as mass goes,
she’s a stone. No light of
her own.

The actual length, in flatrocks
is waning. She’s shrinking,
thinking.

Looks prehistoric, right?
She’s sky-wise and old bone
tired. Wired for something more.

NaPoWriMo for day 21 asks us to incorporate ‘overheard 
speech.” My nature-loving son is upstairs having a conversation with a friend about scorpions and reptiles he has seen in our desert. The italics are portions of their conversation.
