April is National Poetry Month. To celebrate, I am posting one of my poems every day. You can play along too! Or, if you don't write, post a poem that you love. I would love to see my friendslist filled with poetry all through April.
I wrote this one two weeks ago. Just some musing about the city I'm living in.
Bath
the city is built within seven hills
I live on the toenails of one
it hurt so I couldn't breathe
as rain spattered my plate glass chest
I wondered at the ancients who chose
why bathe in so many clouds?
under the eyes of others' gods
will a helmet keep you dry when
gallows god calls out the storm
but you loved your dignity
sacrifice buried at the crossroads
throat smiling with bloody despair
