Where No Poet Has Gone Ever

Folder: 
Invisible Poetry

.

I know, the quill drips green ink

and you get this look on your face

that says, I understand. I go there.

They say don't go there.

I go there.

.

I want to be loved and adored

by poets everywhere, but I seldom

publish anymore and the poets

are writing, too busy to read

this inconspicuous and invisibile.

I write it down and hope

someone looks it up.

.

When I'm dead, poets in the year

2029 will discover my work and say

things like, "How come I just

heard about her?" The reasons

are bountiful and exclusive.

 

Thanks Poetry

Magazine. It feels good

to be forgotten.
