Darker

By Bill_Hicks

All Dark Poets are the wind

Some are of Great Goat martyrdom: 

They
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
their gusts
Of lightning shrapnel 
To tree bark

Storms in their minds
Become literal haelstroms

Thunder imagined
Light

Some are of an Arctic Hare's subtelty
They freeze
a pond of ice

for pretty things to skate on

not too thin


WOLF
would still fall through

Light Poets breathe out too deeply

Hot air escaping a bag of wet flesh

  • A former member wrote: The experimental/unconventional style is really cool, I found this equally moving and humorous. Great poem!
