Poem#23 – Vigil
Today’s photo and written prompt is by Kirsty Logan:
Write a poem in two voices: the girl and the bear.
Vigil
You come to me
in lucid dreams
Your spirit assumes
many forms:
man/woman
beast/spirit
comforter
friend
lover
I hold this secret
to my breast
speak of it to
no one
they already think me mad
so i hide their poisons
beneath my tongue
and pillow
as you keep vigil
over me
