Poem draft: Aurora

[radiantfracture]

Aurora

Night fell.
Half a moon loomed
and shrank.

The stars bloomed
and I was still transfixed
by the thought
that I could never repair
the mistakes of even
this afternoon,
let alone the year.

I would have liked
to throw myself away
and start over.

I stared at my phone
until photographs appeared.

I put on my shoes.
I went outside.

The sky
was dancing.

Hmm

well, I could certainly steal bloom from earlier in the poem

but the moment was a recognition and realization of dancing specifically
as in oh: that is the dancing
with its attendant massive joy and indifference and wildness

so I'll think about it



"Pavane" is great though -- I hope you use it!
