A Colloquy of Perfection
Listen to poem:
A Colloquy of Perfection
David J Walker
It was before words were created
to be misunderstood
Before a colloquy could be called
To describe the
depression or crying or dying
Around a primitive campfire
Long before numbers were ordered and
used to count the cost
Of a contest tossed into the flames
Before innocence was lost
In the names of
prophecies of profits hired to host
A holocaust of descriptive investigations
That’s when
The last time
The world claimed to be
Perfect
