Linda Lee Lyberg at Charmed Chaos posted a wonderful August Challenge poem for this month’s Casting Bricks. Her Somonka is in bold, and my completion of it follows. Everyone is welcome to join in with Jilly’s August Challenge in which we write, post and link a half poem for another poet to complete. There is great stretching of our poetic muscles in the process of collaborative writing, and tremendous fun, too. Join us!
Sated, my soul rests
bathed in the essence of us
what now, I ask you
head in your hands
no words fill
the immense chasm between us
Your cool granite skin
can’t mine veins of marble, those
hardened arteries
(vinegar of my regret)
iron bile obsidian
