Matt Caliri Poet Free verse

Dovetail

The angels are overloaded.
And I'm  crying aloud.
In marketplaces.
In new frontiers.
Sobbing incongruously
From station to station.
Losing my past
And letting the present
Run off without me.
I am draining my momentum.
I am lock-jawed behind locked bars
And still I sing like the only dove In town.

Matt Caliri June 28, 2024 at 11:14 PM Thank-you, Hiba! I've been enjoying your poems as well! Love the brutal honesty in your "dear mother" piece. And the "empty room" was incredibly haunting.
