Men

MEN

Some men approach 
clouds with effortless
silence- infusing skies along
the way, transmitting indigo
bouquet

Some men drain ducts
dark juice from depths of
fractured- bitter dining
table, while I digest their 
poison

The very structure and style of this poem conveys much meaning Kim. Your love is the antidote. Sometimes its so hard to realize the symbiosis of others in our lives, but its there for us to have. Such wonderful gravity and ambiguity in few lines, that's efficient Art, and clarion emotions Kim. J.A.B.

I like to think I am in the first stanza. But I can understand the second stanza. I have known men who are wholly in the second stanza, so I can understand. I have known some women who are in there also. enough said. Well done, Kim.
