Last poem of NaPoWriMo! The prompt was to write a palinode, in which the speaker abandons a prior position held within the poem.
Really proud of this one! Was a great month for writing but Iâm ready for a break now lol.

I am rounding out April as National Poetry writing month with a short story, written of course with a poetical flair. I hope you enjoy this fantasy snack.

Can I fuck up and apologize?
I'm so scared I'm might ruin your life
that every second I feel paralyzed.
Can't even speak,
so I guess that I'll write
can I fuck up and apologize?
Whole world on my shoulders,
can't even handle boulders,
so if I trip, is that alright?
can I fuck up and apologize

In spring, bear visits.
too groggy to untie cords
he bends back the lid.

I love you so much I forget things.
Might as well not even have a brain
how much a love you.
Where did I put that?
I don't know.
But I know I love you.
What did I just say?
I don't know.
But I know that I love you.

Ironically, what got me across the NaPoWriMo finish line was NOT sharing poetry here for the remainder of the month.𤣠In other words, writing poetry with the intent to share it was useful until it wasn't. A few weeks in, the poetry stopped flowing & I knew the solution was to write poetry just to write it, without any pressure whatsoever. I generally prefer to write like no one's going to read it, which just helps get the raw material onto the page. Revision comes later.
Coffee
Lifeâs too short for bad coffee.
Precious brown kernels
In their prime post-roast aroma:
Alluring siren smell -
Come to us, they murmur,
Cross the seas of not quite boiling water,
Press through us, steal our essence.
My mug is warm and full.
Dead zombie crystals infest the cheap hotels,
Dessicated powder packaged in the street corners,
Lifelessly steaming on fiber counters,
Trapped in ceramic or styrofoam,
Muddy dregs trafficked in container ships,
Stolen from the fertile soil
To sate the insatiable crave.
The most frustrating thing about dealing with the neurotypical world for me, is being shamed and ostracized for pointing out obvious lies. As if the person lying is somehow acting socially acceptable, but I am not!?

My son says hello to the sun
and the sun speaks back to him.
He asks the sun,
"How was your day?"
And the sun tells him, "It was good,"
and they smile at each other.
Two suns
so giving of light.

If youâre not a ~mega nerd~ like me, then you might not know: a dirge is a âdeath march,â a hymnal poetry form used to lament the dead, typically written to be performed at a funeral.

it is interesting that Autism Awareness and National Poetry Month coincide. It has been very cathartic, and a number of the poems I have written this month are related to autism awareness and acceptance.

Is it time to let you go?
I thought it would hurt moreâ
with us having been together for so longâ
but so far
every time we've said goodbye
I haven't cried.
I haven't felt pain.
I haven't thought
"Oh God,
what have I done?"
