Wise Words Poem by Michael Timothy Rose

Wise Words



Wise words
Of Sophocles
Still simmer on my tongue
As though my eyes had spoke them aloud.

And many nights
I pine for the meager
Desires
Of old age.

But,
Undercurrent nights
I am absorbed
In white washed
Tears
Of infection
From the salty ocean,
Which leaves its tastes behind
To linger also
On my eyes and tongue.
