Imitating Fear..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

Imitating Fear.....

Rating: 5.0


it was sudden
how the fog came at 3 o' clock
in the afternoon

at the high part of this road
beside the car
a line of mountains
of shadows and flowing lines

we had to stop for a while
we were seeing nothing beyond us
we were silent
becoming fog ourselves

in fear we imitate
what causes the fear
perhaps

to please it
so that it will not devour us
from who we are
