dawn




standing before an orange sun
blazing and fleeing clouds
exhaling breath in vapour water
second in
second out
frozen nose
eyes not frowned
deeper in
softly out
a launching bird
distracts my misconception
of place and time.

love that closing, that misconception follow me around, all the time

Pat Hatt said...

Hate the chills from the cold, but nice when there is a distraction.

Jannie Funster said...

I smiled when I read launching, thinking how my birds this minute are lunching.

Anyway, maybe your time / space continuum is the best misconception to hang out in. I like dreamworlds. :)

Really lovely, Dulce. I heard the bird's wings!

And your new photos are always a lovely exhalation theselves. Thanks for the sweetly soft art!

Ostensible Truth said...

this one has a hypnotising feel - I felt myself twisting into it "distracts my misconception
of place and time." - indeed! nicely done!

Claudia said...

A blessed distraction for this "sensitive" Northeasterner, Dulce. Great piece.

hedgewitch said...

Beautiful, meditative mood to this Dulce--the focus of the breath, the struggle always to get it right, to center. Enjoyed it much.

Enjoyed. The words and Image go together well.

a poem that has left me in a 'place and time' to have some thoughts... your poem left me with reflecting some of them in this moment.

very nice write:)

Interesting words here:

a launching bird
distracts my misconception
of place and time.

intriguing alignment of concepts and images.

Yes, it is dawn. Beautiful wordsand lovely rhythms that melt into the dawn itself.

I shall be back soon - I'm off to meet up with my sister and to swim with manatees.

This is ONE GOOD piece of poetry!

"Orange sun" I'm there.
Fleeing, blazing clouds. I 'see' them.

And breathing vapor-water, at first quickly, then deeper and slow...bird launching (2 words inspired)

The Pièce de résistance:
"...a launching bird
distracts my misconception
of place and time."

You ARE poet, Canary-Girl!
Thank you. PEACE!
