the poem

by Julian JP Lee


the poem: soft as dawnlight

          stronger than stone

the poem weighs nothing

          yet cuts to the bone

poem! slick as water

          ravenous as fire

it can wash you clean

          or consume empires

poem: a shade of darkness

          that shines the light

poetry is mystery

          that gives us our sight

the poem: soft as dawnlight

          stronger than stone

the poem weighs nothing

          yet cuts to the bone
