INSIDE MY ROOM #6

Continuing our segment of story time called INSIDE MY ROOM where we will be sharing poetry instead of monologues or fictional short stories. Today’s story time features a poem called Move by Lauren Brady.

Move

Elongate over mountains 

                                             prove you are tall,
scattered across the 
sea, land and sky
embrace it all. 

Turn around pits 

                                tease the ground,
embrace the enemy 
know the field 
every crevasse 

Jump over barriers 

                                   experience the rush,
compress a nerve
fly to the sun
check if they see.

Connect your arm to your hip 

                                                see if you can,

shelter your body 
make a change
challenge yourself
be something new.

Fall through the air
                                         Through time and space 
Create your own state
                                                                                     Never land in one place.
