stillborn signature

 

 

my heart's been kicked 

in its symmetrical shin

and now it is lyrically limping

with a dull ache of apostrophe

a Dickinson's dead perspective

 

the grave of the garrulous gumption

i used to have,

but now this speaker is shy enough syllables

to complete his rhythm

and he's dancing in front of you

awkwardly moving as a manifestation

 

of the ghost he used to be

when our spirits cut the poetic rug

as one

 

and love was still an idea

in gestation.

Seems like he believed in love but he found love dead and now he lives with a broken heart but I may be wrong lol But one thing's for sure Its a power write!
