During this year's lunar eclipse
Maggie Devers
I misplaced my shot glass
And over-poured my negronis
Or what's it called with port instead of vermouth?
It doesn't really matter.
We floated on together
I booked tickets for Disneyland
And wrote stories that confused me
The next morning
It doesn't really matter.
Except I woke up thirsty
Me, perpetually thirsty
Soaking up the water
And drowning myself in gin
Wherever you go, there you are
So they say.
So here I am
Pulled by the moon
Like the ocean's tides
Feeling out of control
In these rhythms of my life.

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.
