Once I was a poet
December 13, 2021
Once I was a poet;
A magician of meter,
Pouring out songbird symbolism
(Double meaning you could drown in—
Resurrect in)
And rose-colored tragedy
Like you wouldn't believe in.
Once I was a poet,
But I'm afraid I've lost my voice,
And so I pour out poems,
Reaching for a phantom limb,
Hoping that my poems will one day be poetry again.
