Epic Reduction

By Danw

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The violent storms raged outside Inside the peaceful sons sing The old man divorced his sins As the young girl became one with her love Today it was the eternal pain of life Yesterday it had never been so uncertainly sweet The sun rose to give them life As the moon fell upon their heads like the gallows of time The homesteaders ascend the great mountain Visitors descend into the open space As the rain beats down on the bleeding ground The sun above heals their wounds The literary visionary stood tall A hunched dwarf hid his loose knowledge I wouldn’t say it’s love, I just hate everybody but you In a storm I see just where I’m going to, But I can’t see the rain Written November 1st, 2001 © on Feb 27 2002 07:42 AM PST   10 • 0
