This Isn't Your Poem (poem)

She claimed its syllables

When they boomeranged

From her aching

To mine

And back again, and again

This poem is still being written


It gathers

Clarity

Precision

Light


With each expanding orbit


You would weep

To witness the love, the freedom

It circumscribes


But be cheered


Her poem

(a miracle in this war-torn landscape)

Has sisters aplenty

Longing to be yours


Say yes?
