Possess
Shadows of being,
These poems, which have come now
To possess my heart
Confession
When held, confessions
Impel the transgressor
To repeat their crimes
Lightning
Thunder is a threat
Which in passing leaves no mark
On the audience
–
I’ll take the lightning,
For it employs the heat
Essential to burn
Rival
Conflict begets art
All writer’s create within
Themselves a rival
Weeds
Poems are like weeds
Tenacious vessels that breed
In spite of hardship
