How Am I Supposed To Hold It? Poem by Wes Thompson

How Am I Supposed To Hold It?



I'd leave what is left
from the few pages I turned
If I was so deft
to learn to unlearn
but still I remain
to dispense sentiment
fragile permanence
laced in our testament
wrists bound by remembrance
fields of spring in full bloom
a tantrum, in petals construed
expendable beauty presumed
must the throne of the soul
dismantle faith to survive
night stars bled of light
for the sun to revive

Some intriguing phrases (fragile permanence, wrists bound by remembrance, and others) but I could garner more meaning for myself if you would help me with a little punctuation The rhythm sings for me! Oh, is contrue a typo or your own creation?
