Conjugating Poem by Lonnie Hicks

Conjugating

Rating: 2.7


I conjugate the verb to be:
miracle sentences;

non-existent one moment
then coming into Being
utterly unique the next;

perhaps never before
uttered
in all of existence
before this
moment,
on this page
at this time
from this mind.

Miracle this,
shared by all of us.

I conjugate the verb Coming into Being
from Potentialities of Being
trolling for words not yet extent

having some portion of Being
but not yet born
on Poet Pages.

I conjugate the verb Now Being Born
words coupling in sentences
flowing down
forming paragraphs
couplets, rhymes,
emotional hieroglyphics,
history,
Ideas
and glifs,
and then they
are on to Being Past.

In single verbs
we lash together
all Being;

that which is Now Born on pages,
that which was written yesterday

and those word-stories
we borrow
from future sentences
yet to be born
which live only in our dreams.

We conjure all this
from that Beautiful Nothingness
where Creativity lives

where unexpectedly
these Beings
come as daytime
and night-time sprites
into life
shine as diamond-faceted
moon-beams
changing who we are
as they transit.
