Humdrum Monotony Of My Country Poem by gregory collins

'I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity'
E. A. Poe

I have sung to you
So many times now,
My body knocks against the sky.
But only the moon remembers
The passionate seizures of beauty.

I said I have sung to you
With the blood and guts of destiny,
Bringing difference into a world resenting difference.

But only the moon remembers
I have never once talked with God;
Maybe I have been a fool,
Thinking to split a rock beyond a few easy words:
Then be surprised it shattered.
