Old Poems


I like how the old poems speak
Abstract images of love and death

Smoldering black stallions
So furiously galloping

Rising, rain-swollen rivers
Running over their banks

Soaring swallows calling
Suddenly diving earthward

Fast chariots crashing
Throwing out pharaohs

Tall stone walls crumbling
Into wide piles of rubble

Frothing surges of
Blue ocean swells

Timid deer taking
Shy, hesitant steps

Wind howling through
Bare-limbed black trees

Abstract images of love and death
I like how the old poems speak
