Every Poem An Epitaph

Rating: 3.5


a pair of corresponsive tanka written in response to Albert Camus's remark:

There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide - 'An Absurd Reasoning'


published poet,
a shaman or just a shame...
unemployed
I crawl into a hole
and wait for the last breath

'destroy, destroy, ...'
hums my unconscious -
the God of Job
refuses to hear the hum
while killing my ten poems
