Moonwalk Through Insomnia

 


She walks barefoot across the moon,

her toes curled into visions

plucked from insomnia’s madness,

and poetry’s blood ink channeling secrets.


A collector of shadows, notes left

in the gray wool of a stormy sky,

she folds words into origami sails

trusting night to carry them safely

through the river of eyes.

Love your images, Susie. The shadowy notes, floating, waiting to become poems.
