POETRY DO YOU SPEAK?

March 21: INTERNATIONAL DAY OF POETRY

(2010)

Do you speak poetry? Then

perceive the sound of my tears falling

rushed into the core of a star.

If you talk poetry

understand

I split in half when, in desire,

rain caress me, and I dissolve.

also will know what I mean when I say

hollies planted in the cracks of my field

adult, and so when I'm being.

If you talk poetry

stand by me,

I need an interpreter to understand

with people bitter.
