What Poetry Has Taught Me
The stones on my chest
I can’t wash them away
The hours I walk
Cements them to stay
You work all the hours
Cold glasses at night
Sleep away the images
Stay blind to “what might”
But then
Poetry allows me to breathe
The ink breaks the gray
Not the ink on my skin
But from it
