a wish, a rant, a roar

..

a small stirring
in the slow hollows of her bones.

a hallowed breath
of broken wayward shaken sky.

a sigh. a song.
the long long stretch of day.

a freckled thought
that says she is ungrowing.

a fraction caught
between her grinning teeth. relief.


..

    “a freckled thought” — oh how I love these few words….and I think of them as a sign of youth and you juxtapose it here with “ungrowing”….
    I really enjoyed this one!
