![]() EremitismA Poem by Wilyem Clark
What language infects these printed pages?
It cannot be English, for those who read them Leave with a basic incomprehension. The stack of music I've composed: What tonality? Those who've heard it Sink into blank expressionless funks, For neither noise nor tunefulness Has moved them to criticize or praise. Those novels yonder, stories too: So cryptic that they could only be The products of alien civilizations Millennia dead and inaccessible? Eremitism, my strongest virtue: With paper pillars I build my temples, Invisible, lofty, surpassingly gorgeous, Wherein I kneel, I pray, I lucubrate, I lustrate my life by the sacred breaking Of bread and ties to humanity. © 2024 Wilyem Clark |
