Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Free verse

This Moment

This moment
like dank cellar air
is motionless
except to pass the senses
as saturated air
rolls over skin
as lungs draw in odour
rich in permanence
the soundscape is silenced
save
the pulsing from within

this moment is forever
forever
motionless

Lisa Ricci March 29, 2017 at 12:51 PM Hello Maureen. This is an entry that should be read out loud with emphasis. I found this original.

John Herlihy February 20, 2017 at 11:55 AM A little cryptic, a little mysterious, rich in inducing wonder. Indeed, an interesting moment. John
