! I! Defining Defending Poems

Rating: 2.9


Poems are not anatomical descriptions
but adjectives of silences
Poems breathe in limbo
petrified of their existence,

Poems cannot confirm or deny doubts
about their birth legitimacy or lineage
they cannot conform to the marital lingo
of utilities, provisions proprietary

To stay alive they seek shadows
bask in glory of some suns
that blend well in their own darkness.
