Nostalgic

I’m well aware that they are laying poems out on slabs these days – dissecting them – dropping their heart, their mind, their guts into little dishes and putting their cells under a microscope. They scrape under fingernails for evidence and chart wounds, both long since sustained and newly acquired, on a diagram for future reference. They drain their blood and pump them full of something they say will preserve them, something as insanely unnatural as the exercise itself, only to then abandon them, alone, in the long dark night as if they never existed.
My poems do not wish to be undressed and undone, poked and prodded, severed or sliced, only to be forgotten at the turning of a page. They want to fly, burn, breath, rage and urge from you the conversation we would not otherwise have had. They want your instinct, your humanity - understanding – and not the scalpel or the thin white gloves that keep us from actually touching. So, if I say the horse was just a horse, that the colors were randomly chosen or that I hung a moon in the middle of a poem for no particular reason at all, just let me have that –
but don’t believe me.

This is great as a poem and as a genuine offer of sponsorship. I will certainly help in any way possible and I will match your offer.
We need this website and if a few dollars helps I can do that or whatever is required. Thank you Jaye... |

True poems are written from the heart . To criticize such is to show a lack of compassion and understanding. It should also be a given that those closer to that heart will have a better understanding and insight as opposed to a stranger. |
