SurVision Magazine / Edytta Wojnar

Insomnia

I don't long for it
in bed     my husband's
chiseled chin     his throat
an accordion

eyes open     I don't summon
its unrequired symmetry
high tides     and retreating
           waves

my flesh     flotsam
conspiring to become
the full moon

           a frantic
shore collecting
worries like amber
