NaPoWriMo--National Poetry Writing Month
NaPoWriMo--National Poetry Writing Month
Every April poets around the world challenge themselves to writing a poem a day as part of NaPoWriMo. This year is my first in joining in this challenge. I've been looking forward to it. Well, it turns out writing with a deadline put a pressure on me that I'm not used to. I spent half the day trying and not able to write a word. Finally, something began to click. So, hopefully, each day for the month of April I will post a new poem.

Celestial Mapping
Early night sky
exhaling stars
and inhaling me
until I am a part
of the heavens.
No gravity pulls
me back
as I tattoo myself
onto the darkness.
I metamorphose
into a constellation
and my breath
becomes the Milky Way.
