A ‘Waltz wave’ poem
gray scarf wound 'round orbits I barely see through weave or breathe smoothly each traumatic wheeze fresh struggle lungs strain through heavy keratin ribbons that constrict me
#TankaTuesday
Eugi offers us a theme at Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday poetry prompt this week:
The Gray Scarf
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

One must remember to breathe when layered…
Winter can be harsh. ๐
sometimes, I need to remember even when I’m naked…
๐ My yoga class says take in a breath, count it and you exhale should be three counts longer…
