Twisp: February 20, 2019

February 20, 2019 by Sarah Schrock

Erratic

By Sarah Schrock

There is a rock from

Here to there

It sits alone, waiting, weathering

Isolated from clustered kinship

Silhouetted by the lavender sky

Fractured by time, carried on the back of cataclysm

A familiar figure

A face, a profile, a relic of the flood

Punctuating the subtle undulations of the land

Standing like a soldier

Tired from the cold

Shelter for the lives unseen from this speed

A violent history stands in peace

A landmark in my heart marking my way home.

 

Under the Super Moon

By Sarah Schrock

A pulse

A tug

A restless uneasy calling

Stirring the subconscious into ephemera

Agitated by the absence of night

Awed by the light

A place of wild stillness

Made Beautiful by vivid shadows

Obscured in a haze

The glow retreats

Darkness re-emerges

Calming the soul

At least, sleep.
