May Golden Shovel poem #9

source: Where Will Our Masks Go Now?

 

She searches for the moment where

Time slows, quickens, reverses. She will

Wrap time in knots, hopeing our

Need for certainty masks

A deeper need for time to

As far as imagination can pop now.

I’m continuing to use Terrance Hayes’s Golden Shovel poem format, as proposed by the Sunday New York Times "At Home" section, for 30 Poems in 30 Days during National Poetry Month.

 

Take a newspaper headline that attracts you.

Use each word in the line as the end word for each line in your poem.

Keep the end words in order.

Describe the story that the headline is for.

The poem does not have to be about the same subject as the headline that creates the end words.
