cancer and the all things bad

[Canofceleri]

cancer and the all things bad

clutching on the letting go

of shade and left for another's noon.

 

swings cascades o'er prickly ropes

the unstable granite boulders

the hollow spots--no water fills.

 

cancer and the all things bad

the children losing and miss

their eyeless toys to no one parent.

 

and the people downtown all

jump off their towering polished marbles

and suffocate in the glass of their car--weeping.

 

cancer and the all things bad

the phallus of an oak can break away

and in an instant kill us all.

 

there is no one to save us and there never has been.

there is no reverence in physicality.

there is no care.

I'm normally not too keen on poetry, but I have to say I liked that.

 

I can't really give any criticism, because I couldn't write anything near that good, so I'll just have to leave it at "I liked that".

Another great poem as usual, Candarelli.

 

Keep up the great work.
