Death Of A Poem Poem by Leslie Philibert

Death Of A Poem



Found dead in my study; lines strewn across the floor;
the slaughter of an unborn, a virgin text.

the sun electric, the burnt grass of the next life
that salinates the sea; an apple of the stars;
a dye stone; freedom as a whore and ghost of poets.

And the final pathos:
there are many ways of being dead before death.
