    Listen Slowly
    listen slowly
    my heart lies breathing in the dark
    like a broken whisper pawned for tomorrow

    this togetherness is dying
    weakened by a shiver
    a storm that releases the bottom of my dream

    everywhere is today
    my eyes slip back
    i am reaching towards land
    an island on stolen ground

    what has this become
    my wasted days and smiles
    what is the reason we disappear
    we vanish into the sleep

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
