the after purgatory

Posted in Poemage on March 20, 2007 by nooneiswatching

the lines are filled,
the release is the thing you see,
names and thoughts and replicated
conversations all written over
the top of a meaning structured
like layers of sedimentary rock

word over word, story over story,
there is a hell in those pages
that you may think you want to see
but you cannot, because a trail is
set in those pages, a course in lyric
that would kill you forever.
