“A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds.” -Percy Bysshe Shelley

dead end
Like Darwin's finches,
would we know why our beaks are shaped this way?
Poetry, like mathematical sentences,
cage the pigeon, momentarily truth can be contained
in theorem.
History was written to expel,
revise, adapt and to forget the way it happened
in order to make story from time with a line.
A plot never seems to develop
or hold
what was expected.
I do repeat myself,
I say things I often don't recognize
as mine, I smell fear in my atmosphere
and wish flight was my choice.
Artist Jacques Callot (1592-1635) 'Traveler' early 17th century, in Public Domain.
