Emotional Responses

Posted on April 30, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
The emotional responses were unexpected results.
Naturally
we were hubristic.
We underestimate the complexity
the intensity
of poetry.

Quiet Distraction

Posted on April 30, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
A certain quiet distraction
made me rather lax
with his cigars on the mantel
and a hundred books,
from sofa to table,
every corner stacked.

that we seem
to all be
looking for the light.

Hit on the Skull

Posted on April 24, 2020October 22, 2022 by Erin B.
You fell in love
hit on the skull.
Pay attention to it no more - 
You're too young.
Get other interests in life!

Mornings are good,
as close as it got to innocence,
this transition to wakefulness.

Fluttering Hope

Posted on April 16, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
Something stirred her heart,
fluttering hope
swelled to greater echos
winding them together
weaving her happy influence among them.

Flooding in the Unhappy

Posted on April 16, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
In vapid listlessness
eyes closed, but not rested.
It was a state of dilapidation -
at least, of detached interest
within me.
I had been flooding in the unhappy.

Light Around Her

Posted on April 11, 2020August 16, 2022 by Erin B.
The light around her
rare magic,
light of wonder - turning life
and sorrow to song.

I Dig Life

Posted on April 10, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
I was broke and didn't have a dime,
but I just go along.
I dig life
following no direction.
