Poem-A-Day: a woman all about love yesterday by Shira Dentz

a woman all about love yesterday. 
by Shira Dentz
 

                We have a single sky.

                     have a single slash  

 

a single sleeprose
single sleeverosebud
single slaprosette
single sliceroster
   sliderostrum
a single sliprotunda
single sloperouble
single smellroue
single smilerouge
a single smokerough
      snakeroughcast
single snowround

gotta let the passageway silhouette,
benediction of my kneel creaks in ________ labyrinths;
trying to ________ pregnant, backgrounds with or
   without; married, single. pressing
hard, bloom drains from my hand. patch. sunlight dims
in the late aftertaste. sunshade dimming in the late
   age. 66°

Your pearl self slows power, circles

Poem-A-Day started as a National Poetry Month program in 2006, delivering daily poems from newly-published poetry titles.

 

Due to popular demand, Poem-A-Day became a year-round program in 2010, featuring original, never-before-published poems by contemporary poets on weekdays, and classic poems on weekends.

 

Browse the Poem-A-Day archive for selections since 2010.
