Tim Ryerson Poet Rhyme

Sometimes the Poem Should Cry

Setting off concealed landmines
Lighting the night with mere lines
Fall apart, come together, ring the chimes
And weep in your poem sometimes

Crash in ruin, sprout wings and fly
Sweat bullets, be deligent, don't try
Confess sins, deny and comply
Yes, sometimes the poem should cry...
