Tryst Feature Poet John Sweet |
poem as a noose |
moonlight in the room of hanged men the names of poets nailed to tongues this will be my anti-war poem i say and the woman beside me laughs shows me the scars that her father gave her and the ones left by her boyfriend asks me to kiss them because she believes in empty gestures asks me to read what i've written says nothing when i tell her it doesn't matter ŠJohn Sweet 2002 Featured Poetry |
