David DeSantis Poems

What is it
that gives life?

This eternal source
...

Sitting here staring
At a downed power line
Computers shut down
without access
...

This pain,
so acute in its objection
that I should ever try to gain relief.
...

Another day
as any other.
Yet on this day
I was born.
...

Today I sat
by a pool.
A vacation from the stresses
of the reality I face.
...

By the corner window
he sat
eyes glazed over,
as a temple of fear,
...

Wake up,
To a morning jump,
You’re a sunless pup,
Speed bump.
...

My feet in the sand.

The shoreline
Of a beach,
...

Why did I go out last night?

Maybe living alone,
and being at home
...

Any candidate will do,
I think.

Her.
