Free script channeling Poets clamoring Standing stuttered and stammering Admitting in unpretentious ways Defeat for who they are. Language next to music, Vision, next to speechless awe, Poor cousin raged with Country stench of un-refinement; Living about them, clouds hung low In the valley of their death. Un-proud, Unproven, Untamed, Unopened Cancelled before commitment could contain; A wit from out depression, Or speech that’s lost without a gain. A candle’s death By whispered breath proclaimed.
