2022 Poetry Marathon, Hour 12

Hour twelve, from the image prompt:

Ultimately
it is the center
around which everything revolves

slowing
quickening
sometimes skipping or stuttering

but always relentless—
from start to finish

We may fall out of step
or go astray
but we always come back

Because the drum is everything

  1. Great way to reference the album, The Drum is Everything, but also to incorporate the image from Ofuma! Until you hit the last line (without the picture for reference) it is a great metaphor for life, as well…
    Love these lines:
    ‘slowing
    quickening
    sometimes skipping or stuttering’
