"meet me under the celestial croissant” by Irina Vérène

meet me

under the celestial croissant

with its ridged crispy dough

and cream-colored insides

dreamy craters

perfect for scooping up space

like blueberry jam

edible stardust

speckled throughout

find me

where silver cutlery light

invites to devour

reflected in your eyes

until the buttermilk orange juice skies

offer milky way breakfast

under the egg yolk sunlight

again

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.
