Newest Poem

 FRAGMENT

There they lay

my fragments

my might have been poems,


look at these ruins of words

a colorful disorder,

half-built metaphors

tottering over a crumpled meter,


echoes of memories

echoes of dates


what a mess

to see my lines clothed in rags,

rags of forgetting, frayed emotions

growing old

second-hand attempts

left behind without title

or names

or distinction,


homeless stanzas left by a lane

leading to the sea

to some forgotten shore

to waves coming with their quiet laurels

remember, forget

remember, forget,


washing them away south

somewhere warm and unknown,


go now!

my mediocre orphans!
