30 Day Challenge, Day 1: New Days

Across bodies

carrying dormant elegance,

forgetting givens held,

instead jabbing,

kicking, longing masks never on.

Pretend quasi reality situated

today, upon varying ways

X's yield zero.

 

Account, now, for assumptions and accruing

beleagurment barring budding

caring..

Demonstrations defining discussion

early on, easing ever

further from facades falsely

guiding. Gentle gestures,

heartbeats with hands held

intertwined in-between

in-jokes,

inklings,

inlets, long-lasting days left laying

making master plans maybe

noone notices,

others openly oblivious of our

presence, preferring perhaps

quiet quizzical

regard. Respite raises rushed

sentences sentencing solace

to two twenty-somethings turning to

unification, under covers used as

veils vexing visages, visions

well-wishing, with wills of wildlings and we,

extracting expositionist excuses, exiting

yesterday yet yearning for youth's

zeal. Our zenith, Zion.

Notes

It's been a while since I've written anything, so I'm getting back in using the Curtis Memorial Library 30 day poetry challenge. Today's challenge was abecedarian style, which I tried a couple ways. While I enjoyed the challenge, the lines feel a bit too stiff and forced due to the constraints.
