...but the moment has been prepared for."

So #NaPoWriMo is done. It was a mad one. My writing has transformed for real. Shoutout to all the poets that have taken up the challenge. There are some I've deliberately not uploaded for various reasons. I may put them up soon; I may not. But I did it. Daily poem for 30 days. Man's got work to do, still.

This is one I could upload.

Enjoy.

I want to stop living in my head,
make my body a neighbour to you.
I don’t know what it is to sit in the space between breaths
but I am tired of the growing gulf between our mouths
and the emptiness between our clasping palms.

Tonight, we tried to cross the gap between our feet,
but we’re still broken
and drift apart like arctic ice,
even as we lie
here, with nothing between our chests.
