volley of words
Submitted by kpaul.mallasch on Mon, 03/31/2008 - 5:40pm.
and the words
as arrows whistle
through the air, none
of them connecting, all
of them disappearing into
the distance, lost in the
horizon of the forever
in your eyes.
i survey the volley into the valley
and none of my words have hit.
and maybe that's it.
a volley of words is
ineffectual - unable
to do what real live
action can do. the
curse of the poet
to know in words
what to do, but be
unable to turn
words into
action.

i enjoyed reading this. i particularly like this part (which it think should be the end of the poem):

thanks, hipj
it's certainly shorter than most. ;)
it's actually cuts from a longer piece.
i'll see if i can't play with the order of these more (sometime!) and maybe even condense more...
thanks again.
