The Relevance of Unspoken Poetry



"The Relevance of Unspoken Poetry"


These are “my people”, are they not?
I spread my wings like a Cormorant 
and went deep diving deep deep deep 
full speed, into the muck 

I came up with pearls in my beak 

These are “my people”, are they not?
I reached across the table to them, throwing my runes,
the stones rolled and as they fell, on each face I saw ruins,
and in their minds I read, 

the relevance of their unspoken poetry



Candide Diderot. ‘24
