Lullabies, Love Songs, Funeral Chords
June’s clever music box
picks the tune:
A three-in-one
triskeles melody
that unknots
your mind to sleep,
ignites your heart
around the neighborhood
of love, lays your
of love, lays your
body to rest beneath
the ranges of your
experience. Follow
the ranges of your
experience. Follow
along: a simple pattern
of lightning bugs.

Love it! My favorite poem of yours this month. Perfection.
Beautiful! This poem glows.
This poem is lovely. You even use one of my favorite words: triskeles.
Yes! 💜
This is so pleasant to read, Tabitha. I especially love the triskeles and the unknotting.
I love how there’s a translation from aural to physical and then to visual by the end. It’s dreamlike.
Brilliant!
