The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 6/5/08

[BlueIris]

"Having Much"

I know the shape you take
When you are near; I try once again
To become what you do not have,

And study the body, how it continues
While many walk by with heads down
As if written everywhere are the words

No one will use and the matter of what hands
Do not do. It is possible to suffer
Having much. It is possible to regret

The beauty that keeps one from staying long
And without mercy. How I want you to break
What builds, the still life of everything

In its place, so accurate you cannot help
But lie down, weary of what you make me.
