Notes About The Poem

MEIOSIS: Ironic understatement 

Meiosis the Form

they
      fought a
              millienium
to be free
from 
            hegmony
a republic of
       equal 
                   hearts
inked in blood
of history
Free
        to be
did not last
no matter
            the struggles
of the past
Hedged in
               freedom
could not be
              emeshed
by tentacles
'cross
another sea



NOTE::THIS MEIOSIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM  using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.
