Folds - Poetry

Folds - poetry inspired by a week of Denise Levertov 

——

Folds in my sheets like ocean waves

Everything like ocean waves

Folds in our clothes like dunes

In White Sands, in Sahara

Over taking everything slowly

Stealing the flowers’ blooms.

Folds in our skin, like sounds,

Like universe’s frequencies, on and on,

Like our lives, in and out of existence,

Never disappearing from our face. 

Folds of time that take us down

Paths unknown, always our own,

Through holes in the continuum we rely on.

The clocks, they will tick, sending sound 

Over and through the ocean’s waves,

Moving the dunes, stealing the beauty,

taking birth, giving birth, making love,

Again and again, never the same,

But sleeping in the same sheets.
