"In Flood" by Joanna Ashwell


In Flood

Everywhere, becoming a rap for every move. The limbs, the frame, the fingers drumming without a cue. These chords within, tangling each thought. The river, a lake, the sea, a pond; even a puddle. The refraction of rain.

out of slumber
shaking me free
a eulogy in cloud
