CONFESSION CATCHER

POETRY

CONFESSION CATCHERS
A small folded relic — something once found in the hands of children, re-interpreted to hold my confessions. Inside, poems hide - representing the secrets I long to keep. Each corner is a confession - so you can only see all of me if you open it completely. because some things take time to say, and even longer to understand.

break your fall
           with my body
                     my heart groans
                       as the day lengthens
                            like the scarf down her chest
                       the sun sinks slow      
           like the tea blooming in our cup      
blue glaze with the chipped edge

inspired by Kelela’s “take me apart”
