02 How Thunder Runs from 100 Days by James Navé
Restless on clean sheets, I woke from the second night of my hospital stay thinking of how thunder runs through everyone’s life, not lightning, thunder, the boom, an expression of emergence. Last night I dreamed a friend pulled me fromthe sea. Thunder rumbled. I woke, looked out the window, and realized that thunder has a pearl-like quality; every boom is singular, like explosions you hear in a war zone, but that’s not thunder. That’s the sound of a whale with a broken back. My back is not broken. There are no wars here.
Here’s your questions: What Makes Your Back Stronger?
Special event: The Lake Eden Writing Week-May 19-25, 2024 with Nickole Brown, Allan Wolf, James Navé, and special guest: www.jamessnave.com.
NOTE
Twelve years ago, celebrating Poetry Month beginning April 1, I wrote 100 poems in the 100 days following my surgery which took place on March 30. I shared each poem on Facebook, I self-published the poems six months later. Last year, 3: A Taos Press published the poems in a beautiful book: 3taospress.com/authors/james-....
Now, in the spirit of Poetry Month, I'm revisiting his journey by reading one poem daily from '100 Days' over the next 100 days. I hope you enjoy the poems.
