A Poem That Wouldn’t Exist Without Auden
Poetry makes nothing happen.
Sometimes though,
something we need
is for nothing to happen.
~Noah Berlatsky
so is our universe
dying in ten to the power of
seventy eight years

flesh
and bones
laid to rest
on the grill

all
rush
to the hot seat
the tortoise trudges on
~Jiel Narvekar
a small cottage
among trees
never will
grow
up

counting potholes
on the road

Slipping, losing, gripping, never.
Squeezing, quenching, catch forever,
Burn myself into something better.
~Hannah Terry

Later
Worry, fear, peace of mind.
Separate from friends,
Lightning overhead.
Sheltered from the storm,
Happily alone.
“Danger to myself” no more than ripples in the lake.

A Stretching Yearn To End
Dusty book pages
for Souls imprisoned alone
… where other Hearts beat
golden to warm melodies
of Summers not out of reach.

A
perfect inertia
An empty beer can in the stagnant pond...
A perfect inertia.

empty skies running away from nothing
