Poetry from the 3:15 Experiment: August 31, 2009 –trials by fire
3:15am August 31, 2009
Another year of 3:15 Experiment complete
Another month of August
come and now gone.
Summer’s heat is coming
on strong but the days
are shorter & the sycamore
is going brown & losing
its leaves already
This time next week we’ll be
driving home from Burning Man
exhausted, a week’s worth
of sweat, sunscreen & dust
caked on our skin & in our hair,
intense days & nights packed with
art & bike rides, new friends, music
firing our lives
transforming us as the glaze
on clay
Trials by fire–both
3:15 experiment
Burning Man Festival
marathons to push us to do more
with our lives, to be more
in our lives
c. Gwendolyn Alley aka Art Predator August 31, 2009
For more poetry from the 3:15 experiment, where a bunch of crazy poets just completed another August of getting up at 3:15am to write in a hypnogogic/hypnopompic state, check out the 3:15 website. For poetry written in a typical state of mind, catch a ride on the Monday Poetry Train.
