"Brick", "Emergency", "Unfold", "Current", "Hush", "Own" - A Week's Worth of One Minute OneWord Poems

BRICK


Brick
laced dirt
under our selves

ready
sun aimed
for good, bone

dry
the hands
that placed them

there
in our
denials acceptances

dirt
brick fists
of blood read.

~~~~~~~~~~

EMERGENCY



Emergency!
Go to
the sewer, swim,

believe.
Try anything.
Don't eat it

Live
like you
mean it, urgent

to
your cells
emergency, try living

the
moment of
conception, the emergence.


~~~~~~~~~~~~

UNFOLD


Unfold
into feathers
be the strip

Unfold
pained petals
ivory sutures healed

into
steps -- glaciers
across your age


~~~~~~~~~~~~

CURRENT


Current
words strike
hearts in the minds

Readers
bear arms
and silver pens

Birds
harbor feathers
wade the current

in
daily feet
pink cement divers

strivers
for a
chance reconnaissance, whistling


~~~~~~~~~~~~

HUSH


Hush
be water,
pond beyond wind.

Rain
on your
own parade: be

stationary,
stationed on
the cross -- pollination

assured.
Be everything
that's not sneeze.


~~~~~~~~~~

OWN


Own
up to
it -- the daze

of
praise, the
paying off, all

your
own imaginings
dashed: salt. pepper.
