The
prompt this week from ReadWritePoem was a powerful one, and one which took a
respectable time of introspection surrounding the theme of what I believe and what I don't believe. I wrote about my process on my Julie
Unplugged blog . I thought it would be simple yet, it wasn't so simple. It might be worth your while to do the exercise even if you aren't interested in writing a poem from it.
I over wrote this poem at first and then settled in with just what I share, here. Shorter than my usual, perhaps – and I think it is just right.
Born
naked, belonging, identical uniforms
Him
with this, her with that, them with –
Otherwise
remarkably universal tags
Forever
stamped with a longing to return
To
some form of uncovered transparency
Where
by skin and in skin and with skin
Alone
we are adored, cuddled, held in
Agreement
with wide-eyed, sacred believing
Disbelief just because we are – nothing to do
Mirror face blinks, moist eyed, relieved
