166 Poem by Morgan Michaels

166



Loneliness-
l'one, l'un, one;
li, lig, ly, a way of making nouns adjectives;
ness, keit, hood, a state of ensemble:
Words are funny:
sooner or later, the many
suture in one
seamlessly, seemlessly
regardless of their roots-
trade in the street
on the worth of seeming;
hybrid chimerae
fit for currency
light to bear that
like the sheen on the pear
suddenly, suddenly
dazzle with new meaning.
