Decided to do something different, here is a video of me reading one of my poems, this one titled (for now) ‘Poem to Read Aloud’.
I wrote this poem as an assignment for the Poetry Workshop at Westminster that I’m in.
POEM TO READ ALOUD (working title)
I cut a glance
your direction, aflame you look back
linger. Craving gaze, a charmed doom for
me later. Flesh, veins,
flayed bones on bones desire, not now.
I smile, a fire.
Your glutted eyes hold me. Turn away, wait no
yes wait until
the sun goes down so the neighbors don’t see our shadows.
I hope you enjoy my poem! Any comments/feedback I would deeply appreciate.
Stay safe and stay well out there!
