Poetry Party at Abbey of the Arts

Every month Christine at Abbey of the Arts throws a poetry party. The idea is to build a poem off of the image she provides. Above is what she provided for this month. Click here to join in the fun. Here was my offering:

Astigmatism

is this what happens

when vision clears?

i drop into myself

heartbeat by heartbeat

and feel blue blush

whispers against

the curve of my ear.

i breathe them

in

and step
with an ecstatic scream 

into a new reality

where you wait.
