A Write To the End

A Big Wave Poem, —it breaks off the page And swells in your memory, now hollow with rage Its blank pages churning, new sounds fill the air Deep ink you are coursing, as breathless you dare Its words a tsunami, they tumble and maul Crushing all but the fearless, watching consonants fall Tightly closed up inside, you compress for the light And hope at the end, you are saved in the fight When giant verse calls, hope and fear you befriend Your line now committed —a write to the end (Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2017)
