Damocles KnewA Poem by Tobes
This meager language and
pitiful syntax never begin to measure the weight of this absolute with every cliché: waves, wings, wind, wishes falling metaphorically short with failure to convey the all-consuming nature of being all-in... opening up, giving away, placing all bets-- with starry-eyed, excited fear, and brilliant love on a beautiful heart suspended, massy and near above the head, over the hopes by the barest thread of goodbye. © 2018 Tobes |
