Is it any wonder how writers,
even so young -
their faces tight and bright with sun,
their eyes agleam -
how yet they still succumb
to emptiness?
Their faucets dripping dry;
an empty sky,
no air; nowhere to run,
no thoughts to dream?

Then, let the bullets fly.
Let blades invade the vital stream.
Let souls depart.

And in ascension seem
to find their heart

Could it be that poets must first suffer their death?

Succumb to emptiness with their faucets dripping dry?

And only then, will they ascend to life?

A poetic life?

Deep, a little disturbing.

There once was a poet called DK

Who wrote verse in a suggestive way

Her rhymes were clever and slick

They made many a prick

Stand up stiff and hard night and day.

She wrote about women and men

And the kinks which they practiced, and then

She sent them to Lit

Who did their publishing bit

And they were read over again and again
