In response to Day 7 of Napowrimo, I wrote a poem in response to an article or news event. I wrote it regarding our changing times, the CDC recommendation of wearing face masks. This is also my first post for #the100dayproject #the100dayproject2020 and am looking forward to 100 days of poems and creativity.
Cover Your Nose and Mouth
A landscape of not enough,
roundness of the mouth.
What was lips is now a mound,
dry flesh, an addition, speak
no evil, taste no evil, sing no evil.
Paper thin like the white sheen
of new scar tissue, sweet pucker.
A kind of mouth that holds
breath in the shape of a bowl;
the steam captured in
evolution; a yawning, agape
in the uncertain spaces
that once held words,
face, shapes.
