A week for poetry

POETRY IS HONEY FOR THE SOUL

Geoff is the first reader turned blogger today

for our poetry week.

In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.

When I walk
I part the air
and always
the air moves in
to fill the spaces
where my body’s been.

We all have reasons
for moving.
I move
to keep things whole.
