A throwaway line from a manga last night got me thinking so I wrote this poem. It’s pretty much the way it came out of my head with a very few minor changes (change the word “the” to the word “a”, for example).
I can see a few ways I could make it much more structured instead of completely blank verse. But then I’d have to add a couple more stanzas. I like it the way it is, so I’ll probably leave it. Then again, maybe I’ll make a second version. I don’t know yet. Anyway, here it is:
Night Bird
Homeless
Flying
Through a new moon sky
Flying free
Unfettered
Unbound
Homeless
New moon
Dark moon
Black sky moon
Moon that is but isn’t
Guide me
Guide me with your darkness
Guide me home again
For I am all alone
