Dream Magic
Conjure: double yellow sliver moons
transversing the horizon
the sacral spine of a sycamore
rattles the night sky,
the face of water knows
& throws light, pools shadows
a hummingbird’s tongue—
intention & absorption
a body thirsts, burns with questions
of bone, breath, plead, feel
vowels, a story of flow, lungs, lips
& throat, roots tunneling through soil
~ A found poem created from words in the poem “Prayer to the Charcoal Dusk” by Felicia Zamora
