Head to toe

 

My rhyme is broken, my syntax heavy,

The days of poesy disappeared

I cling to the blinking cursor, waiting, it seems,

Curiously questioning –

Where are those words you entered here

To fill the space

To fill the void

Where are those words which used to mean

Used to be, used to open out your heart

A gallery of words.

Beauty fails me now, like it always did,

Fragments of misapprehended feeling

That’s all my words mean now

The only difference, the only, lone, sole, transitory difference

Is I no longer need to mean

Except when I’m with you.
