Poetry

Stylization of spoken speech
When nothing else seems really real;
An invocation of what might reach
An unmoved soul, and make it feel.
Emancipation of written words,
Linguistic fetters removed and freed,
An almost gesture towards chirping birds
Who only sing and sleep and feed.
A derivation from unmarked terms
It need not be wholly sincere;
Infected by the common germs
But whether sickened is not quite clear.
A palpitation within the limbs
Station by station, reciting hymns.
