Poetry

Poetry expression,
of fragile anorexic bodies in search
of affable systems
and psychotherapists
from beyond the garden.
Crepuscular foggy mangrove frames
that dilute the mournful search
for the end of time
and the rhetorical horror
of the "I believe that, but the question is complex"
Imagism of saying the pain,
limpid and clear
and selling it off
on a canvas of bleeding flies,
l'art pour l'art,
among the notes of croaking ukulelis.
Poetry like newsprint
to wrap withered skulls and
remnants of good intentions,
glares of masses,
desperate sisterhoods,
maternal pity for cheating biology.
Poetry, turns the inert dastardly
and banal
one heals wounds with puns
