butterflies
you
walked the el camino de santiago
for days
weeks
on into a months worth of
finding yourself
as for me
i ate celery
and cried
had dollar store peppermint tea
for days
weeks
on into a month
i
purged all color
but grey
and stayed
and emerged transformed
twenty nine days older
so cool
cycle of Luna
(almost the same as the cycle
of lexpomo)
Thanks, Jim.
My wings’ll droop a bit, at the end of LexPoMo…. it’s been so enjoyable!!
a pilgrimage vs. a purge and some wry humor:
“and emerged transformed//twenty nine days older”
Pilgrimage vs. Purgegrimage…. might be another poem on the horizon! Thanks for the comment, Gaby!?
Fascinating juxtaposition!
