"Bloom" A Poem By AstroMommy
Full Moon in Capricorn Poetry Slam June 21, 2024
Bloom
by AstroMommy
Bloom
Into the boundaries of a country like a passport flipped open at the travel checkpoint
Bloom
Into the lexicon of a language like taking a nibble off of its grammatical cheese
Bloom
And evolve into something new that makes earthquakes and shatters realities
Like a salamander slithering on your skin wakes you up
Bloom
Into the sky like a raven wooshing through the air
Settling on a branch like a nickel in your pocket
Bloom
Into your veins like lithium from potatoes and tomatoes shading the night with a good mood
Bloom
Out of your burrow Like a mongoose ready to bite a snake, it’s easy, yum
Bloom
Into a soothing wash over the senses that decapitates the crushing pressure of the migraine like a warm, heavy hand upon the forehead
Bloom
Into existence like a fire, for out of entropy things emerge and manifest, as behaviors come from thoughts, wood, spark, breath, flame, coal
Bloom
Into authenticity as youngsters trying on different clothing styles discovering which colors, fabrics, and details express who they are the best
Bloom
Into the boundaries of where the paper is still wet
