savage light | poem seventeen posted by imani , Thursday, February 5, 2009 at 7:16 PM, in Labels: ars poetica

when pages are
broken by ink,
when nothing is
left to be without,
when my letters fill
the void of
my own soul,
when lingering
means standing
against the
harsh waves
of our differences,
when pages are
broken by my ink
i meant to live in
your consciousness.
