Moonborn
Aura Guerra-Artola
I am the Moon’s daughter.
Forever shifting rooms
within the skin I call home.
My light has crossed the tides,
so have my shadows.
I leave pieces—
memory like bark,
fallen
between full and hollow.
I lay in the hands of the earth
what in mine has completed
its cycle—
in case she wills
that it might bloom anew
for someone else.

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only
Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice. We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
