Poetry time! A reflection on our recent move, from a wild farm to a tamer one a few miles away.
I’ve left a world behind me
Like so many before
But this one
Was a world my heart loved
A world
That shone joy onto my face
That breathed peace into my lungs.
I had a sudden realization the other day: I write poems, and those poems have a place on Story by the Throat! I posted one here once, but I generally share them elsewhere on the web. I’m going to start sharing them here as well, when I feel they’ll enrich the mysterious and wonderful cloud of what SbtT! is all about.
I wrote this one a couple months ago:
It began at Midsummer.
Midsummer week the labor ended
Midsummer eve the cars stopped dead
Midsummer day the laptop overheated
And time slowed
The universe paused
And I exhaled
And found I could breathe
For the first time in years.
Story by the Throat!
