Week 24 words from @monasterie: breathe, vulnerable, wild, future and explosion.

breathe

breathe deep

into your vulnerable self

rock on your heels

wail at the sky

run fingernails down

your porcelain cheeks

and tear out your hair

in this explosion of wild grief

claim your future self

Here are the words and my poem for the twenty-fourth week of the 2019 Poetry Challenge.

Sometimes there are no words but the words themselves.

If you want to join the 2019 Poetry Challenge, head on over to my Instagram account (@indraniperera) where I post the words for the week on Mondays (mostly) in my story. Write a poem and post it. Be sure to tag me and use the hashtags #2019poetrychallenge and #livepoetsclub. 

If you don't want to write a poem, you can still be part of the 2019 Poetry Challenge. Send me five random words and I'll use them in a poem. Either DM me on Instagram with the words or send me an email (indrani at indraniperera dot com).

Happy writing!
