Roberto's next Response!!
robert zajkowski just breaks me with his wonderful words... here is his response to my poem from a couple posts ago:
yes
all there is
is yes
but then
but then
locusts
they dream
from eggs emerge
showers of
sodden nets
you're right
always right
there is more
to an ocean than water
there are boats
&
that floating
does wonders
for the surface
&
that
the bottom
the bottom
wants to rise
to reach
to clucth
to avenge its heavy curse
but that it is
dancing
that enters the sky
that
it's laughter
that is wieghtless
that it is love
that heals
what the world brings
it brings
begging light
forgive me
me
but i'm scared
that freedom
is a trick
with sharp bones
and
they'll know
it has been stolen
