Poems are not anatomical descriptions <br />but adjectives of silences <br />Poems breathe in limbo <br />petrified of their existence, <br /> <br />Poems cannot confirm or deny doubts <br />about their birth legitimacy or lineage <br />they cannot conform to the marital lingo <br />of utilities, provisions proprietary <br /> <br />To stay alive they seek shadows <br /> bask in glory of some suns <br />that blend well in their own darkness.<br /><br />Frank Lisa IndiRa Francesca Roger Platt Cornish Martin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-defining-defending-poems/
