Sonra

Poetry (Prompt: Black Out Integration)

Sonra

She duyuyor a lost moon Traveling forests circle babies in her womb Rains sonra, the birds perform Her womb sings, a mother’s song

The lake: She lowers her face into moonlit water She duyuyor a forgotten child Lullabies float. Hydrillas sway in loss Music sonra, the wind halts Warmth builds in her belly White water rain falls. The song rewinds

There they go, mother and child Shadows. Fallen imprints of a faraway night We duyuyor their song vaporize sonra, two blue suns adorn the sky sonra, the forest dries, earth beckons new leaves ripples: both calm and rekindle sorrows sonra, loss settles on the lake of life

Duyuyor — hears Sonra — After/Later/Then
