What it All Boils Down To

What it All Boils Down To

 

Poetry has become

it seems

but one of our new

many sins ..

Each tiny paper note

pinned fresh

to some elsewise

virgin page ..

Each single letter

unique

in its own write,

becomes alive ..

Depicting

as it does, exquisite

yet still

inexcusable guilt

and yes, sublimely ..

Now etched

upon the minds of those

free wretches

and shackled kings divinely ..
