Listen to poem:

Iambic Sighs

Iambic Sighs
David J Walker

What a cruel damn thing
	Life can seem
Before you fly

I know
	What where goes
And when goes
	And there goes
With treasure troves 
of why

I know
	Which wind blows
On down lows
	And in flows
On outflows 
And iambic sighs

I know
	Of back hoes
And bulldoze
	And fast slows
And good pose 
	And bad prose
And a second-place prize
 
What a cruel damn thing
	Life can seem
And then we say 
Our goodbyes
